Harris Texas Litigation Costs Clause for Lease is a legal provision included in lease agreements that outlines the allocation of litigation costs in the event of a legal dispute between the landlord and tenant. This clause specifies which party is responsible for covering attorney's fees, court expenses, and other legal costs associated with litigation. In Harris County, Texas, there are primarily two types of Litigation Costs Clauses for Lease: 1. Landlord-Pays Clause: Under this type of clause, the landlord bears the burden of paying all litigation costs, including attorney's fees, court filing fees, expert witness fees, and other related expenses. In case of a legal dispute between the landlord and tenant, the landlord is responsible for covering all the costs associated with the litigation process. 2. Tenant-Pays Clause: In contrast to the landlord-pays clause, the tenant-pays clause places the responsibility of covering litigation costs on the tenant. If a legal dispute arises, the tenant is obligated to pay for attorney's fees, court expenses, and other litigation-related costs. This clause may also include provisions for the reimbursement of landlord's legal expenses if the tenant is found in breach of the lease agreement. It is essential for both landlords and tenants in Harris County, Texas, to carefully review and negotiate the Litigation Costs Clause before signing a lease agreement. Parties should consult with legal professionals to ensure a clear understanding of their rights and obligations concerning litigation costs.
