Renters

More than 6 million Texans rent their homes. Most don't cause problems for the property or the property owner, and most don't have any significant problems with their rental housing or the property owner.

Through education, communication, and legislation, the San Angelo Apartment Association provides resources to rental housing owners and operators that assist them in developing and maintaining quality rental housing.   In partnership with the Texas Apartment Association (TAA) and the National Apartment Association, SAAA communicates regularly with our members about changes in city ordinances and requirements; state laws and regulations; and federal statutes and rules that govern rental property.

In most instances, resident and landlord disputes are based on provisions contained within a lease agreement.  You are encouraged to carefully read, understand, and maintain a copy of your lease. Give special attention to lease paragraphs regarding lease term, rent amount, rent due dates, non-renewal notice, deposits, and maintenance requests. The Texas Apartment Association is the leading association in the state representing rental property owners and operators. Since 1963, we have worked with our members to promote high professional standards, fair legislation and a healthy and competitive rental market that meets the rental housing needs of all Texans.

Do you have a problem? If you are a renter and you have a problem, we want to help you find resources in your area that can assist you. Unfortunately, we are not able to personally answer your questions or reply to inquiries about specific situations.

We’re not qualified to give you legal advice. If you need legal help, we encourage you to check with an attorney or look for legal resources in your area. You might also find answers to your questions on the Texas Apartment Association's Helpful Info for Renters  page.
