The dataset contains monthly Landlord/Tenant caseload information by court from January 2023- Present. Landlord/Tenant cases include: 1) Eviction- All suits for eviction (recovery of possession of premises) brought to recover possession of real property under Chapter 24 of the Texas Property Code, often by a landlord against a tenant. A claim for rent may be joined with an eviction case if the amount of rent due and unpaid is not more than $20,000, excluding statutory interest and court costs but including attorney fees, if any. Eviction cases filed on or after September 1, 2023, are governed by Rules 500-507 and 510 for Part V of the Rules of Civil Procedure. 2) Repair and Remedy- A case by a residential tenant under Chapter 92, Subchapter B, of the Texas Property Code to enforce the landlord’s duty to repair or remedy a condition materially affecting the physical health or safety of an ordinary tenant. Repair and remedy cases filed on or after September 1, 2013, are governed by Rules 500-507 and 509 of Part V of the Rules of Civil Procedure. Because of the submission deadlines for reports, the most recent monthly data will be two months behind.
