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 aimed at protecting 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 terminate. This month-to-month lease must be renewed each month until the end of the lease period falls outside of the school semester.

The bill emphasizes the importance of stability for families with children during the school year, ensuring that they are not forced to relocate during critical educational periods. The provisions of this bill will apply only to lease agreements that are entered into or renewed after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025.
