Landlord’s Duty in a Breach of the Lease
In this educational video, attorney Dave Polsinelli discusses the duty that Texas law imposes on landlords when their tenants vacate before the end of a lease term. He explains that as soon as landlords receive notice of an early termination, they should immediately take steps to find a replacement tenant. Failure to take these steps could result in a significant reduction in the amount of damages that are recoverable against the original tenant for breach of the lease.
