§ 82.160. CONVERSION BUILDINGS. (a) A declarant of a
condominium containing a conversion building shall give each
residential tenant or subtenant in possession of a portion of a
conversion building notice of the conversion at least 60 days
before the date the declarant will require the tenant or subtenant
in possession to vacate. The notice must state generally the rights
of tenants and subtenants under this section and shall be
hand-delivered to the unit or mailed by certified United States
mail, return receipt requested, to the tenant or subtenant at the
address of the unit or any other mailing address provided by the
tenant or subtenant. The declarant may not require a tenant or
subtenant to vacate on less than 60 days' notice, except for
nonpayment of rent, waste, or conduct that violates the rental
agreement or is illegal, and the terms of a tenancy may not be
altered during that period. Failure of a declarant to give notice
as required by this section is a defense to an action for
possession.
(b) If a notice of conversion specifies a date by which a
unit or proposed unit must be vacated and otherwise complies with
Section 24.005, the notice also constitutes legal notice to vacate
on that date for purposes of Section 24.005. A declarant may not
terminate a lease in violation of its terms.
(c) Unless expressly authorized by a rental agreement, a
declarant may not make substantial alterations to the interior of a
leased premises for purposes of a condominium conversion.
