Tex. Prop. Code Ann. §§ 94.001–94.303 § 94.151
WARRANTY OF SUITABILITY.
Operative Text
Sec. 94.151. WARRANTY OF SUITABILITY. By executing a lease agreement, the landlord warrants that the manufactured home lot is suitable for the installation of a manufactured home during the term of the lease agreement. Added by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 801, Sec. 1, eff. April 1, 2002.
Under Texas Property Code § 94.151, when a landlord signs a lease agreement for a manufactured home lot, the law automatically attaches a warranty that the lot is suitable for installing a manufactured home for the entire duration of that lease. This is not a negotiated term — it arises by operation of law at the moment the lease is executed. The warranty runs for as long as the lease remains in effect, meaning the lot must remain suitable throughout the tenancy, not just at move-in.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 94.151, operators of manufactured home communities in Texas should ensure that each lot offered for lease is genuinely capable of supporting a manufactured home installation before any lease is signed. A compliant operator generally conducts site assessments, maintains utility connections, and addresses any physical conditions that could render a lot unsuitable during the lease term. Because the warranty attaches automatically upon execution of the lease, proactive lot maintenance and documentation of lot conditions are practices commonly associated with compliance.

Section 94.151 of the Texas Property Code gives tenants in manufactured home communities a statutory warranty that their lot was — and remains — suitable for a manufactured home installation throughout the lease term. If a tenant believes the lot has become unsuitable, this warranty may be relevant as a basis for raising a complaint or asserting a defense in a legal proceeding. Tenants who believe this warranty has been breached may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Texas manufactured housing law to understand the general enforcement paths available.
