What to know about renting in Corpus Christi?

If you’re ready to call Corpus Christi your home, make sure you familiarize yourself with some local tenant laws first. Texas doesn’t have any strict rental control laws, so once your lease is up, your landlord is legally able to increase rent as much as they wish. If this is the case, they need to give notice — as in the case of moving out, which is generally 30 days’ time. Also, if the landlord doesn’t ensure repairs during your tenancy, you cannot legally withhold rent because your landlord will have the right to evict you.
