I am writing as a tenant of [Rental Property Address] in Houston, Texas, to discuss a significant concern regarding the lease agreement we have entered into. Upon careful review of the agreement, I have discovered a provision that contains a confession of judgment on any claim arising out of the rental agreement, which I believe to be in violation of the law. As tenants, we are afforded certain rights and protections under Houston, Texas, and federal law when it comes to lease agreements. One of the key principles of a fair and equitable rental agreement is the absence of provisions that infringe upon our legal rights. The confession of judgment provision falls into this category, as it forces me to waive essential legal protections and remedies, thereby compromising my ability to seek justice in case of a dispute or claim arising from the rental agreement. I would like to bring to your attention that the inclusion of such a provision is unlawful and unenforceable in Houston, Texas. According to the Texas Property Code §92.0161, a confession of judgment provision in a residential lease agreement is invalid. This statutory provision reinforces the importance of protecting tenant rights and prevents landlords from gaining an unfair advantage over their tenants. Despite this statutory provision, it has come to my attention that the lease agreement we have signed includes this unlawful provision. I kindly request that you amend the lease agreement immediately to remove the confession of judgment provision. This revision will ensure compliance with Texas law, uphold tenant rights, and promote a fair and transparent relationship between us as tenant and landlord. I understand that mistakes can happen during the drafting and review process of legal documents. Therefore, I trust that you will address this matter promptly and in good faith. I kindly request your confirmation of the removal of the unlawful provision by [Date, two weeks from the date of this letter] to avoid any further complications. I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter, and I am confident that we can resolve this issue amicably, reinforcing a positive and lawful rental agreement relationship. Furthermore, I would be happy to discuss this matter further if needed. Thank you for your prompt action. I look forward to your response. Yours sincerely, [Your Name]
