An apartment manager or landlord cannot refuse to accept rent as a pretext to start an eviction process. The only legal way to evict a tenant is for the landlord to win an eviction lawsuit in court1. Even after winning the lawsuit, it is illegal for the landlord to take self-help measures to remove the tenant1.
If a tenant does not pay rent or violates the
lease, the landlord must first give the tenant a written notice to vacate as
required by state law. If the tenant does not move out after receiving this
notice, then the landlord can file an eviction lawsuit1. It’s important
to note that specific rules and procedures must be followed to carry out an
eviction legally, and refusing rent is not one of them.
For more detailed information or assistance with a
specific situation, it’s advisable to consult with a legal professional who
specializes in Texas rental laws.
