Living in Austin, TX

Being the 3rd fastest growing city in the US, Austin ranks high on Forbes’ list of “best cities for employment.” Living within city limits comes with certain tax benefits for both employees and small enterprises – especially given the lack of individual income tax rule in Texas.

Tips for renting in Austin, TX

The Austin Tenants Council promotes the right to fair, safe, decent, and affordable housing for all. If you are relocating to Austin, understanding tenants’ rights and your responsibility safeguards you from potential legal hurdles.

Often, a lease comes into effect when the two parties append signatures, and the tenant remains liable whether they eventually move in or not. There is no law limiting the number of rent increases, and it’s worth mentioning that evictions can be carried out in as fast as two weeks. While most leases allows property owners to enter the houses without the express permit of the tenant, they can only execute that privilege if it’s specified in the contract.
