Episode 67
Repairs and Remedies
In this episode, John and Kyle discuss the world of rental properties, focusing on the
crucial topic of repairs and remedies. Their discussion delves into the challenges that
both landlords and tenants face when it comes to maintaining rental properties and the
legalities surrounding these issues. The episode is a treasure trove of information for
those keen on understanding the delicate balance in the landlord-tenant relationship,
especially when it comes to handling property repairs and managing financial
responsibilities.
Key Takeaways:
• Repairs and rent payments should be treated as mutually exclusive responsibilities
between tenants and landlords.
• Landlords in Texas are generally not obligated to make non-habitability affecting
repairs until the tenant is current on rent.
• Tenants have legal recourse, such as repairs and remedies suits, should landlords fail
to fulfill their obligations—though this process should be handled correctly to avoid
complications.
Quotes:
• "All conversations go better with a zero balance." – Kyle
• "Repairs are mutually exclusive. Just operate that way and you'll be fine." – John
• "People don't understand how these proceedings work... you can't just go willy nilly
expecting to... get your way." – John
