It does not say anything that I am suppose to provide a form then again I don't know if Texas code picks anything up and mandates that a landlord is required to provide a form.I am making a form up now for my property the tenant is suppose to move in actually two months after commencement technically the property was considered good to go five days after the initial contract signing then there was an issue with the house regarding water coming into rooms and mold that was obvious and smelled in another portion of the house.I spoke with the tenant they are cool with me providing a form at a later date projected to be November 1st, 2018
