The bill, S.B. No. 2763, introduces a new provision in the Texas Property Code regarding the renewal of leases in manufactured home communities, specifically focusing on tenants with minor children. It establishes that if a lease agreement involves a tenant who resides with a minor child, or if the tenant's child resides with them, and the lease is set to expire during a school semester, the landlord must convert the lease to a month-to-month arrangement instead of allowing it to lapse. The landlord is then required to renew this month-to-month lease each month until the lease can end outside of the school semester period.

This legislation aims to provide stability for families with children during the school year by preventing abrupt lease terminations. The changes will apply only to lease agreements that are entered into or renewed after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025.
