New Landlord – Questions About Leasing Property in Houston

Hi everyone,

I’m new to the forum and also fairly new to being a landlord. I'm currently preparing to lease my first property in Houston, TX, and I want to make sure I’m covering all the legal and practical bases.

A few things I could use some guidance on:

Best practices for screening tenants in Texas

Any Houston-specific lease clauses I should include (flood zones, city ordinances, etc.)

Tips for setting up clear communication and expectations from the start

Do most of you use month-to-month or fixed-term leases in the current market?

Also, if anyone has experience with EZLandlordForms templates for Texas leases, I’d love to hear how they’ve worked out for you.

Appreciate any tips or lessons you can share!

Thanks,
