Tenants Rights Advocacy
Tenants Rights Advocacy
Natasha S. Walker understands the challenges you face as a tenant. You deserve to have your rights respected and your voice heard. That’s why we are dedicated to standing with you in your tenant disputes.
In Texas, the law requires tenants to pay their rent every month regardless of what other problems may occur during your lease. Knowing and understanding your rights as a tenant will help you assert your rights against those landlords who fail to follow the law concerning landlords. Many problems tenants face are shotty repairs or no repairs at all, deplorable living conditions, and sometimes this leads to severe health and safety hazards. Tenants also are in the unfortunate position of defending erroneous fees, charges, and deductions from security deposits for damages they did not cause. In other case, tenants are at-risk of eviction for violations of their lease agreement for non-payment of rent. While the issues tenants face, may vary, Natasha S. Walker recognizes tenants caught in disputes with landlords feel helpless and unsure of their legal rights. Whether it's unaddressed maintenance issues, threats of eviction, or baseless lease violations, we recognize that there is a significant imbalance of power for tenants. Natasha S. Walker is here to help you protect your rights, your home, and your peace of mind.

Residential Tenant - Consultation
How can tenants depend on the legal system if they don’t know their rights? More often, landlords are finding ways to completely ignore the complaints of their tenants, make false claims about lease violations, and tenants are left with no alternative.

The consultation is 30 minutes in length and you will be able to speak with an attorney concerning the particulars about your case.

A consultation does not mean the firm has accepted your case because it is impossible for the attorney to know this without having a direct consultation.

In Texas, the protections for tenants are usually buried and limited, however they do exist.
