Tex. Prop. Code Ann. §§ 94.001–94.303 § 94.205
TERMINATION AND EVICTION FOR VIOLATION OF LEASE.
Operative Text
Sec. 94.205. TERMINATION AND EVICTION FOR VIOLATION OF LEASE. A landlord may terminate the lease agreement and evict a tenant for a violation of a lease provision, including a manufactured home community rule incorporated in the lease. Added by Acts 2001, 77th Leg., ch. 801, Sec. 1, eff. April 1, 2002.
Under Texas Property Code § 94.205, a landlord in a manufactured home community has the legal authority to end a lease and pursue eviction when a tenant has violated a provision of the lease agreement. This includes violations of any manufactured home community rules that have been incorporated into the lease. The provision establishes the legal basis for termination and eviction but does not itself specify notice requirements or procedural steps, which are governed by other parts of the statute.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 94.205, operators of manufactured home communities are generally expected to ensure that community rules are formally incorporated into the lease agreement in order to rely on those rules as grounds for termination and eviction. Compliant operators typically document lease violations thoroughly and follow all applicable notice and procedural requirements found elsewhere in Chapter 94 before initiating eviction proceedings. Maintaining clear, written lease provisions and community rules helps establish the factual basis for any action taken under this section.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 94.205 grants landlords the authority to terminate a lease and pursue eviction for lease violations, but tenants in manufactured home communities retain the right to understand exactly which lease provision or community rule they are alleged to have violated. Tenants may have defenses available, such as whether the community rule was properly incorporated into the lease or whether required notice procedures were followed under Chapter 94. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services can help residents understand the full scope of procedural protections that apply alongside § 94.205.
