Why Use a Texas Landlord Lawyer’s Eviction Notice Form?
Intimidation. Think about your Notices to Vacate from your tenant’s perspective. Your misbehaving tenant comes home, closes her door, and finds another corporate form letter with handwritten entries from your Texas landlord’s management office. Or, perhaps, you’re an independent rental owner, and you give your tenant a handwritten or typed letter demanding that the tenant leave the property. Your document reads “Notice to Vacate” across the top of a dull, plain-Jane piece of photocopy paper. Your tenant shrugs, balls up your letter, and tosses it in the trash. She’s received three similar letters in the past. She knows the routine.
Now compare your tenant’s reaction when she realizes the wording on your document was undoubtedly written by an attorney. “Uh-oh…” she thinks to herself. “This notice sounds like something an attorney would write. It is completely different from the other notices I have received! Did my landlord hire an attorney!?!”
Compliance. The Notice to Vacate presents numerous opportunities for a Judge to dismiss your eviction lawsuit. Girling Law’s Notice to Vacate generator produces a Notice to Vacate that meets all of the content requirements under Texas law. Our Notice to Vacate also protects you from unwittingly violating various other laws involving unfair debt collection practices and protections for active duty service members.
**No Notice to Vacate can protect you from violating a bankruptcy stay, if you are aware your tenant filed bankruptcy. If you know or suspect your tenant has filed bankruptcy, DO NOT send your Notice to Vacate. Doing so could result in substantial penalties. If you know OR BELIEVE your tenant filed bankruptcy, call us immediately at (888) 725-5070.
Wording on your Notice to Vacate is crucial. Your Notice to Vacate can create problems during an eviction trial if it is not worded correctly. On the other hand, if your Notice to Vacate contains too much information, you could restrict your options later on in the eviction process.
Ensuring compliance with various collection laws can be another issue. A Notice to Vacate is a debt collection activity under Texas consumer protection laws. You should always include something lawyers refer to as the “mini-Miranda” language in the notice. What happens if your tenant files bankruptcy between the time you send your Notice to Vacate and when your tenant receives it? Your Notice to Vacate should include language that ensures you do not violate an automatic bankruptcy stay. If your tenant is a member of the armed services, your Notice to Vacate needs to have particular language. This is true even if your tenant recently joined the military and neglected to tell you!
And then there is the delivery process. Texas law is particular about how a Notice to Vacate is delivered to your tenant. Giving the Notice to Vacate incorrectly can result in your case being dismissed. Failing to deliver the Notice to Vacate correctly is the most frequent reason Texas Justices of the Peace dismiss landlords’ eviction lawsuits.
