Key facts

- How AI is used
- Copy into a table each clause that deals with surrender, removal of alterations, repair, or a stated end-of-term charge. Columns are clause, the words used, and any amount or computation method printed in the lease. Do not decide what the tenant must pay.
- What the lawyer must review
- Texas Property Code § 93.012 bars a commercial landlord from assessing a charge other than rent or physical damage unless the amount or the method is stated in the lease, an exhibit or attachment, or an amendment. Section 93.005 requires a security-deposit refund no later than the 60th day after surrender and notice of the forwarding address under § 93.009. You apply those sections to the clauses. Chapter 93 is commercial only.
