I had to move out of my apartment after only a few months, and the apartment complex is telling me I owe them rent and a reletting fee for not providing enough notice. Since moving in there was a water leak. We had to turn off the water at the wall and the toilet and had a leaky moldy toilet for a couple days before the landlord fixed it. We had other problems such as the electricity going out, trouble with the locks, and bugs. This is why I moved out. Do I still have to pay considering it's their fault I moved out?
This depends. In a situation like this, an attorney with landlord tenant experience should gather more facts, review your lease, and take into consideration the applicable law before advising you.
In Texas, tenants have certain rights, and landlords have certain obligations to tenants. But there are limits to the tenants' rights and to landlords' obligations. Under Texas law, tenants have a right to live in a place that is habitable, that is safe, and will not harm their health. Landlords have a duty to complete reasonable maintenance requests diligently, but they are not required to work miracles or repair items that are not necessary.
