Frequently Asked Questions

How much is rent in Texas?

Honestkey does not publish one statewide figure, because rent differs a lot from city to city. Zillow's typical rent, for all home sizes together, was $1,546 a month in Houston, $1,393 a month in San Antonio, $1,574 a month in Dallas (September 2026). Each city's page also shows HUD's Fair Market Rents by bedroom. For an exact rent estimate at any address, use our Rent Analysis tool, which checks nearby rentals, Zillow, Census, and HUD data.

Does Texas have rent control?

No Texas statute caps how much rent can go up. Local rent control is allowed only in a disaster-related housing emergency, with the governor's approval (Tex. Loc. Gov't Code § 214.902).
