House Hacking & Evicting Tenants from your main residence

David DeLeon
Posted

I saw on a recent BP youtube video where David Greene mentions that many tenant laws do not apply when they are living in the landlord's main residence with them. I'm having trouble finding details through the internet and local law statutes regarding eviction of a non-paying tenant in this house hacking situation. Does anyone know more about this type of situation? Specifically in Texas?

Whatever you do, start with a written notice. Below are TX rules. Sometimes that alone is enough of a reality check for people, but at least it begins your clock today.

In terms of owner-occ, like Chris said there's provisions that allow you to screen differently - eg. you can deny an applicant with children. Tenants still have a right to live somewhere and until you give notice, you can't make someone homeless at the drop of a hat.
