My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Texas
The Bastrop wildfires took my house last Labor Day. I found a house to rent nearby. The landlord worked with me on getting in a rental house until I found something else and figured out what I would do with my life after the tragedy.
The Landlord is also a real estate rep. He owned a couple of houses across the street from each other and rented them out. The house I was in had been foreclosed on. The landlord never told me anything and the new owner who bought the house in an auction put an eviction notice on my door. I called the new owner, he agreed to let me stay and I signed an acknowledgement letter from him, saying that he honors the lease now.
I found a house to move to shortly after. I sent the original owner, with whom I had the lease, a registered letter that I was moving out. I also told the new owner.
The original landlord refuses to pay and says that the new owner is who owes me the deposit. And of course the new owner says the original landlord owes me since I had the lease with him.
Can someone please help. I have all the documents available to email or upload.
Thank you
Charles
All I need to know is who to name in the suit.
