Question on Texas property codes. was created by Esmeralda Moreno
For repair and remedy it states resident(s) must provide one certified, return receipt letter/mail OR 2 regular mail letter or hand delivered notices. Is email permissible? If they fail to do either, did they comply with the requirement to exercise the statute that allows them to terminate lease- based on this requirement???

We wouldn’t be able to give a 3-day via email- it’d get thrown out in a heart beat! Doesn’t it work both ways?
PS: we did comply with any/all request for repair- just wasn’t to their liking.

Review property code (its online!) and consult with legal counsel if you have further questions. Property code changes so often, so you don't want to get outdated information.

Consult the Red Book, but believe email is not permissible. Must be in writing as you've quoted (you can accept service requests via email, but any termination by either party must be in writing) Of course, you can contact TAA for clarification.

Do you have a lawyer you work with that you can consult?

I’ve consulted with our company attorney... not sure why it wasn’t required for him to attend.
