Notes

No statute sets an entry-notice period — 24 hours is customary. Late rent: three days’ written notice before filing unless the lease sets another period, and many Texas leases shorten it to 24 hours.

Seayora computes the notice this rule requires from the tenancy’s own dates — for a renewal offer, a rent increase or a served notice — and will not serve one that is short unless the owner records a reason. The answer above is the rule the product enforces.
