IN RE:
HB1162 by Bonnen (Relating to the provision of notice to vacate to certain commercial tenants in an eviction suit.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Property Code and provides that a notice to vacate directed at a tenant who resides in a commercial property may not be affixed to the door of the commercial premise. The notice must be delivered either by person or mail to the tenant who is the subject of the notice to vacate. Then bill could result in new complaints and investigations by the Office of the Attorney General. However, it is anticipated that any additional costs associated with implementation of the legislation could be absorbed within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
