Replace windows in rental ??
I have a house that I’m about to rent out but the windows are very old & don’t open. Should I replace them? I’m in south Texas.

What's the worst that could happen? Maybe your tenant and their children burn to death in a fire since they can't get out the windows and the local DA charges you with several counts of manslaughter?
I'll never understand why people screw around with safety issues to save money. Either replace the windows or fix them so they open. To do anything less is reckless behavior on your part and you open yourself up to an insane amount of liability
