Sec. 94.054. DISCLOSURE BY TENANT REQUIRED. A tenant shall disclose to the landlord before the lease agreement is signed the name and address of any person who holds a lien on the tenant's manufactured home. Added by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 801, Sec. 1, eff. April 1, 2002.

Plain English

Under Texas Property Code § 94.054, before a lease agreement for a manufactured home lot is signed, a tenant is required to disclose to the landlord the name and address of any person or entity that holds a lien on the tenant's manufactured home. This rule ensures that landlords have notice of any existing financial claims against the home before the tenancy begins. The provision applies at the pre-lease stage, making it a condition that must be satisfied prior to execution of the agreement.

For Property Managers

Under § 94.054, compliant operators of manufactured home communities generally collect lien-holder information from prospective tenants before finalizing any lease agreement. Maintaining a record of the disclosed lienholder's name and address as part of the lease file helps document that this pre-lease step was completed. Being aware of existing liens on a tenant's home can also inform how a landlord manages the property relationship going forward.

For Tenants

Section 94.054 of the Texas Property Code places an affirmative obligation on tenants to provide their landlord with the name and address of anyone holding a lien on their manufactured home before the lease is signed. Tenants who are uncertain whether their home carries a lien may wish to review their financing documents or title records before entering into a lease. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Texas manufactured housing law can help clarify what this disclosure requirement means in practice.
