In Texas lanldords must allow early termination of a lease in the case of domestic violence.The requirements are pretty straight forward, in that any tenant with a court-ordered restraint and police report for a domestic abuse/violence issue can leave without penalty.Usually, but not always, the court order will mandate who stays, who goes, and who's responsible for the lease. 

As you dig a little deeper into the actual release by the provincial government the regulation only applies to licensed agents and appears to be "self-policing" by the industry itself ... so it may amount to a little more discretion, but not elimination of the behaviour.

I have since put in a call to the court's office to see if there is any back way for out of state owners to file as an absentee. 

Go to the local police department and look at crime statistics by area.

Main tenant on the ground floor is a post office---and they just signed a 10yr lease, paying $ $883.50 monthly rent until May of 2021; rates go up to $945.33 from June 2021 to end of lease May 2026.There is a small residential unit on the ground floor with a stable tenant (4yrs).

In six years of being in the business, I've only ever had to use one law office and they have been tremendous and corner stone of my business.

Still working on my niche, strategy, and business plan...I am currently a closing officer at a mortgage lender company with aspirations to become a Loan Officer in the near future (3-5 months).

I earned my license in Oregon in about a month, but finding a quality office to work at took alot longer, so if you already have an in, go for it.
