I am happy to see so many answers to Texas real estate issues are answered here. I find this site to have a lot of good information to address common issues found when purchasing a home. Keep up the good work! Darren Chaker
We rented our property to a 3 generation family 3 yrs ago. The seniors were the lease signers and the others are listed as occupants. The seniors have found housing they can afford and have moved out. The remaining occupants are looking for housing but are not gainfully employed.

If the Buyer wants to keep the TV, I have always made sure we had a Non-Realty Items Addendum to cover the TV.
Buyer’s agent is telling me a TV mounted on the wall is considered a built-in on the home.
Can you advise?
Thank you!
