This information led me to research the topic further and I actually found that in 1979, Texas legislation effectively extinguished the implied warranty by enacting Subchapter B of Section 92 of the Texas Property Code. 

They are also trying to push through legislation that helps renters at the expense of landlords and rental property owners.  

These misguided legislators don’t seem to understand this.

The "Housing for All" legislative package containing 3 ordinances affecting rental housing providers was passed by city council: Ordinance 0494-2021:  Landlords cannot discriminate on housing vouchers, the rent voucher or subsidy must be included in the calculation of income. 

.- State and local aid: The legislation provides $350 billion to states, local governments, territories and tribes.- Tax credits: The bill increases the child tax credit from $2,000 to $3,600 for each child under 6 and $3,000 for each child under age 18.That’s just a start.It’s not law yet though.How is everyone else handling all of these changes and tax updates? 

I get asked about Casino gambling all the time and while I don't see it this legislative session, those discussions will become more rigorous in the coming years.

I would go with the first person that applied and qualified/passed screening and i would dbl check local laws to ensure how you are to process applications (usually in the order received and you dont charge them for background check until you get to them)  this will protect you from discrimination complaints and is what is usually recommended or legislated. 

It is critical that housing providers are engaged with the current legislative process!  

It is possible they extend it in future legislation, but the COVID relief act they just passed (COVIDTRA) does not extend the original CARES Act provision.

That’s where the Pier desperately needs legislative support.
