Know your rights when it comes to choosing the Security Devices to be installed...

[ Up ] [ Required Security ] [ Tenant's Requests ] [ The Landlord's Duty ] [ Selecting the Devices ] [ Sued by the Tenant ] [ Landlord Defenses ]

Except as otherwise required by the statute, a landlord may  select the  type, brand, and manner of installation, including placement, of a  security  device. However, this provision does not apply to a security device  installed, repaired, changed, replaced, or rekeyed by a tenant under Section 92.164(a)(1) or 92.165(1).  Detailed provisions govern the height at which various bolting or  locking devices may be installed. 

A security device that is installed, changed, or rekeyed in  accordance  with the Code becomes a fixture of the dwelling. Except as allowed  by the  right to repair and deduct  a tenant may not remove,  change, rekey, replace, or alter a security device or have it removed, changed, rekeyed, replaced, or altered without permission of the landlord.
