Rent is calculated from the buyer&#8217;s daily PITI cost, a security deposit is held by the title company, and the seller handles maintenance during the lease period.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can a seller back out of a contract in Texas?<\/summary>\n<p>A signed contract is binding, but sellers can negotiate a temporary leaseback using TREC Form 15-7 to stay up to 90 days after closing. This keeps the sale intact while giving the seller time to relocate. Backing out without a contractual right exposes the seller to legal and financial consequences.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Under what circumstances is the seller&#8217;s temporary residential lease used in Texas?<\/summary>\n<p>TREC Form 15-7 applies when a seller needs to remain in the home after closing as a tenant for up to 90 days. This arrangement covers situations where the seller&#8217;s next home has not yet closed or the seller needs additional time to coordinate a move.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<section class=\"rl-bluf\">\n<h2 id=\"the-bottom-line-up-front\">The Bottom Line Up Front<\/h2>\n<p><strong>A seller&#8217;s temporary lease lets the seller stay in the home after closing as a tenant, but TREC Form 15-7 sets firm boundaries on the arrangement. The lease caps occupancy at 90 days, requires rent calculated as a per diem rate with the full amount due at closing, and assigns all maintenance costs to the seller. Overstaying triggers a holdover penalty for each extra day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The per diem rent is calculated by dividing the buyer&#8217;s monthly PITI by 30. That full amount is collected at closing, not in monthly installments. The seller also posts a security deposit held by the title company to cover potential damage or unpaid obligations. If the seller stays past the termination date, the holdover penalty runs 1.5 to 2 times the daily rental rate. Some buyer mortgage lenders restrict leaseback periods to shorter windows than the 90-day TREC maximum, so confirm lender requirements before finalizing terms.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>TREC Form 15-7 governs the seller&#8217;s temporary lease and caps the arrangement at 90 days after closing.<\/li>\n<li>Per diem rent is based on the buyer&#8217;s monthly PITI divided by 30, paid in full at closing.<\/li>\n<li>The seller handles all maintenance and repair costs for the duration of the lease period.<\/li>\n<li>Holdover penalties run 1.5 to 2 times the daily rental rate for each day past the termination date.<\/li>\n<li>A security deposit held by the title company protects the buyer against property damage or unpaid obligations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-sellers-temporary-lease\">What Is a Seller&#8217;s Temporary Lease<\/h2>\n<p>A seller&#8217;s temporary lease is a post-closing arrangement governed by TREC Form 15-7 that converts the seller into a tenant after the sale closes and funds. The buyer takes title and becomes the landlord on the same day. Texas caps this occupancy at 90 days. Rent is calculated as a per diem rate based on the buyer&#8217;s PITI, and the full amount is due as a lump sum at closing.<\/p>\n<table>\n<caption>What Is a Seller&#8217;s Temporary Lease<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Provision<\/th>\n<th>What Form 15-7 Requires<\/th>\n<th>Watch For<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Maximum term<\/td>\n<td>90 days after closing, with both parties agreeing to the exact termination date within this window<\/td>\n<td>Some buyer lenders restrict the period to fewer than 90 days, so confirm before signing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rent formula<\/td>\n<td>Buyer&#8217;s monthly principal, interest, taxes, and insurance divided by 30 for a per diem rate<\/td>\n<td>Rate reflects the buyer&#8217;s actual carrying cost, not comparable market rent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Payment timing<\/td>\n<td>Full lump sum collected at closing from the seller&#8217;s sale proceeds<\/td>\n<td>Title company handles this deduction before distributing net proceeds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Security deposit<\/td>\n<td>Refundable deposit held by the title company or buyer&#8217;s agent until move-out<\/td>\n<td>Covers potential property damage, cleaning costs, or unpaid rent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maintenance<\/td>\n<td>Seller bears all repair and maintenance costs for the entire lease period<\/td>\n<td>Buyer owns the property but has no maintenance obligation while the seller occupies it<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Utilities<\/td>\n<td>Seller keeps all utility accounts in their name through the lease term<\/td>\n<td>Transfer to the buyer&#8217;s name happens at move-out, not at closing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Holdover penalty<\/td>\n<td>1.5 to 2 times the daily rental rate for each day past the termination date<\/td>\n<td>Starts the first day after the agreed-upon date with no grace period<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Property access<\/td>\n<td>Buyer may enter with reasonable notice to inspect during the lease<\/td>\n<td>Buyer retains this right as the property&#8217;s legal owner throughout<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Buyer lenders may cap the leaseback at fewer than 90 days even though the form allows the full period, so both parties should confirm the limit with the mortgage company before anyone signs the lease. Sellers who need more than 90 days require a standard residential lease agreement under different legal terms. Short stays of a few days to two weeks carry the least risk for both sides, while longer leasebacks raise the stakes on deposits and holdover penalties.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"when-a-rent-back-makes-sense-and-when-it-does-not\">When a Rent-Back Makes Sense and When It Does Not<\/h2>\n<p>A rent-back works when the seller has a concrete reason for the gap: a <a href=\"\/lrg-blog\/new-construction-homes-san-antonio-2026-buyers-guide\/\">new construction<\/a> home running behind schedule, a second closing set weeks after the first, or a relocation that requires temporary overlap between transactions. It breaks down when neither side accounts for the buyer&#8217;s lender restrictions, the holdover penalty, or who handles maintenance during the lease.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rl-callout rl-callout--approval_watchpoint\">\n<strong>Approval Watchpoint<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The buyer&#8217;s mortgage lender can block a rent-back outright. TREC Form 15-7 allows up to 90 days, but many lenders impose a shorter cap on post-closing occupancy that overrides what the form permits. If the agreed lease term exceeds what the lender will approve, the contract may need restructuring before closing. Confirm the lender&#8217;s maximum allowable lease period in writing before the buyer and seller finalize rent-back terms in the purchase agreement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sellers who need only a few days to finish moving rarely benefit from a formal lease. The complexity is not worth it. The per diem rent calculation, security deposit, and holdover penalty in TREC Form 15-7 add contractual weight that a three-day overlap does not justify. When the gap runs two weeks or longer, the lease protects both parties: the buyer gets a defined vacate date backed by a holdover penalty of 1.5 to 2 times the daily rental rate, and the seller gets a legal occupancy right rather than a verbal agreement.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"the-90-day-maximum-and-why-it-exists\">The 90-Day Maximum and Why It Exists<\/h2>\n<p>TREC Form 15-7 caps a seller&#8217;s temporary lease at 90 days because the arrangement is a closing bridge, not a long-term tenancy. Occupancy beyond that 90-day limit requires a standard residential lease agreement with different eviction rules, tenant protections, and liability terms. The cap exists to protect both the buyer&#8217;s ownership rights and the seller&#8217;s defined exit timeline.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bullet-section-gray\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lender-imposed deadlines:<\/strong> The buyer&#8217;s mortgage lender may set a shorter limit than 90 days. Some lenders cap leasebacks at shorter periods because primary-residence loan products require the buyer to move in promptly after closing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transition to standard tenancy:<\/strong> Once the 90-day ceiling passes without a new agreement in place, the seller&#8217;s occupancy falls outside the TREC temporary lease framework. A full residential lease must be executed with different eviction timelines and deposit handling rules.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buyer exposure limit:<\/strong> A fixed end date limits how long the buyer carries the risk of property damage, maintenance disputes, and a seller who does not vacate on time. The holdover penalty built into Form 15-7 reinforces that defined deadline.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insurance gap awareness:<\/strong> The buyer&#8217;s homeowner&#8217;s policy covers the structure, but the seller&#8217;s personal belongings and personal liability sit outside that coverage during the leaseback. A shorter occupancy window reduces the period where insurance gaps can create financial problems for either side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"rl-cta-mid\"><a class=\"rl-cta-pill\" href=\"\/lrg-blog\/connect-with-lrg\/?ref=seller-temporary-lease-texas\">Connect with LRG \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"how-rent-is-calculated-the-per-diem-formula\">How Rent Is Calculated: The Per Diem Formula<\/h2>\n<p>Rent on a seller&#8217;s temporary lease is calculated by dividing the buyer&#8217;s monthly PITI payment by 30 to produce a daily rate, then multiplying that figure by the total number of occupancy days. The full amount is due as a lump sum at closing, not collected in monthly installments after the sale funds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bullet-section-blue\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>PITI as the baseline:<\/strong> PITI stands for principal, interest, property taxes, and homeowner&#8217;s insurance. The buyer&#8217;s combined monthly mortgage obligation anchors the calculation because it reflects the real carrying cost of ownership. Every day the seller stays, the buyer pays that carrying cost, so the per diem formula ensures the seller reimburses it directly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The 30-day divisor:<\/strong> The formula divides the monthly PITI by 30 regardless of which calendar month the lease runs through. A February closing and an August closing produce the same daily rate. Multiply the per diem by the agreed number of occupancy days, and the result is the total rent the seller owes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lump sum at closing:<\/strong> The entire rent balance for the full occupancy period is collected at the closing table as a single payment. The seller never writes a monthly check to the buyer. Collecting everything at funding eliminates the risk of missed payments and keeps the buyer from chasing rent after the property has already changed hands.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Negotiation flexibility:<\/strong> The PITI-based per diem is the standard starting point, but both parties can adjust the daily rate. A seller who made significant price concessions during the contract may push for a reduced per diem or even zero rent if the overall deal economics support it. Buyers should calculate their actual carrying cost before agreeing to any reduction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"security-deposit-insurance-and-maintenance-responsibility\">Security Deposit, Insurance, and Maintenance Responsibility<\/h2>\n<p>Three obligations fall on the seller under a TREC Form 15-7 leaseback: maintaining the property, keeping homeowner&#8217;s insurance active, and posting a security deposit. The deposit sits with the title company or the buyer&#8217;s agent and covers damage, cleaning costs, and any unpaid rent. The seller keeps utilities in their name and handles every repair through the final day of the lease.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rl-callout rl-callout--file_guidance\">\n<strong>File Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Confirm that the seller&#8217;s homeowner&#8217;s insurance policy stays active through the last day of the leaseback. If the seller cancels coverage at closing and the buyer&#8217;s new policy has not yet bound, a gap leaves the property uninsured and any claim during that window falls on nobody&#8217;s policy. The title company should hold the security deposit in escrow with written terms that define what qualifies for a deduction. Before the seller&#8217;s occupancy begins, walk the property together, photograph every room, and attach the dated images to the lease file.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>When the lease ends, the buyer or title company inspects the property against the pre-occupancy documentation. Deductions come from the deposit for damage beyond normal wear, for cleaning above a reasonable standard, or for any portion of rent the seller failed to pay. No issues means the full deposit returns. Deposit disputes rank as the biggest friction point in a post-closing leaseback because both sides remember the property&#8217;s condition differently, and a pre-occupancy walkthrough with dated photos eliminates that ambiguity before it starts. Agree on a deposit-return deadline in writing before the seller moves in.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"holdover-penalties-and-what-happens-if-the-seller-will-not-leave\">Holdover Penalties and What Happens If the Seller Will Not Leave<\/h2>\n<p>The holdover penalty in TREC Form 15-7 is set at 1.5 to 2 times the daily rental rate and begins accruing the first day the seller stays past the agreed move-out date. That multiplier exists for a reason. A seller sitting on closing proceeds with no new home lined up may view the base per diem as a minor expense worth paying to stay.<\/p>\n<table>\n<caption>Holdover Penalties and What Happens If the Seller Will Not Leave<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Timeline<\/th>\n<th>What Activates<\/th>\n<th>Financial Impact<\/th>\n<th>Buyer&#8217;s Move<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Lease termination date<\/td>\n<td>Seller&#8217;s right to occupy under TREC Form 15-7 expires<\/td>\n<td>No penalty if the seller vacates on time and returns keys<\/td>\n<td>Walk the property, confirm vacancy, and document condition<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Day 1 past termination<\/td>\n<td>Holdover clause activates at 1.5 to 2 times the daily rental rate<\/td>\n<td>First penalty charge deducted from the security deposit<\/td>\n<td>Deliver written notice to vacate and send a copy to the title company<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Days 2 through 7<\/td>\n<td>Penalty accrues at the multiplied rate every calendar day<\/td>\n<td>Security deposit balance shrinks with each daily deduction<\/td>\n<td>Retain a real estate attorney and authorize a formal demand letter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Days 8 through 14<\/td>\n<td>Same multiplied rate continues with no reduction for extended overstay<\/td>\n<td>Deposit may be exhausted, leaving the buyer to absorb charges on top of the mortgage<\/td>\n<td>Attorney files a forcible detainer petition in the local justice court<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Weeks 3 and beyond<\/td>\n<td>Daily penalty continues with no statutory cap<\/td>\n<td>Buyer carries full mortgage, insurance, and property tax obligations without occupancy<\/td>\n<td>Court sets a hearing date while the buyer assembles holdover documentation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Court hearing<\/td>\n<td>Judge reviews the signed lease, written notice, and penalty records<\/td>\n<td>Seller liable for all accrued holdover penalties<\/td>\n<td>Present the lease agreement, notice copies, and a daily penalty log<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>After the ruling<\/td>\n<td>Court issues a writ of possession ordering the seller to vacate<\/td>\n<td>Penalties continue until the seller physically leaves the property<\/td>\n<td>Constable enforces the writ if the seller still refuses to leave<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Speed matters here. Buyers who deliver notice and start documenting on day one build the strongest record if the dispute reaches a courtroom. The security deposit absorbs early penalty charges, but it drains fast once the holdover multiplier kicks in. When the deposit runs out, every additional day of overstay is money the buyer may never recover, even with a favorable court ruling. Filing a forcible detainer petition in justice court is the contractually correct response when a seller ignores a written demand to vacate under TREC Form 15-7.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-negotiate-the-temporary-lease-as-a-buyer\">How to Negotiate the Temporary Lease as a Buyer<\/h2>\n<p>Buyers hold more negotiating power than they expect in a seller&#8217;s temporary lease. The seller has already closed, received their proceeds, and needs the accommodation. Every term on TREC Form 15-7 is negotiable before closing, from the daily rental rate and lease duration to the security deposit amount and holdover penalty multiplier.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bullet-section-green\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shorten the lease window:<\/strong> Push for the actual number of days the seller needs rather than granting the full 90 days allowed under TREC Form 15-7. Ask the seller to justify the timeline with a specific event, whether a second closing date, a move-in date at the new home, or a construction completion window. A shorter lease carries far less risk than one running the full 90 days, and the buyer&#8217;s lender may impose its own cap well below the TREC maximum.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Set rent above PITI:<\/strong> The per diem formula produces a rate that only covers the buyer&#8217;s carrying costs. Negotiate a premium above straight PITI to compensate for the delayed move-in, the inconvenience of owning a home someone else occupies, and the wear that continued occupancy puts on the property. The seller already received sale proceeds at closing and can afford a rate that reflects the real cost of the accommodation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximize the holdover penalty:<\/strong> The penalty range runs from 1.5 to 2 times the daily rental rate on TREC Form 15-7. Always push for the higher multiplier. A steeper penalty creates a concrete financial consequence that motivates the seller to vacate on schedule. Without a meaningful penalty, a seller who needs a few extra days may decide the cost of staying is low enough to risk. This is the buyer&#8217;s primary enforcement tool short of filing an eviction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Size the security deposit for real exposure:<\/strong> Request a deposit large enough to cover potential repairs, professional cleaning, and several days of holdover rent at the penalty rate. The deposit sits with the title company until a documented move-out inspection confirms the property matches its closing-day condition. If the home shows damage or the seller left items behind, the buyer draws against the deposit. A deposit set too low leaves the buyer chasing the seller for money after the lease ends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-negotiate-the-temporary-lease-as-a-seller\">How to Negotiate the Temporary Lease as a Seller<\/h2>\n<p>Settle every leaseback provision before the purchase contract goes binding. The per diem rate, lease length, move-out condition standard, and security deposit amount all belong in the contract, not in a side conversation after closing. Sellers who treat the TREC Form 15-7 leaseback as a separate negotiation lose their only window to set favorable terms.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bullet-section-beige\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Request fewer days than your actual move timeline:<\/strong> Build a buffer between your expected move date and the lease termination date. Crossing into holdover territory means paying 1.5 to 2 times the daily rental rate for every extra day. Unused per diem rent is returned when you leave early, so requesting fewer days has no downside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Offer a larger security deposit to reduce buyer hesitation:<\/strong> The buyer&#8217;s primary concern is property damage or a seller who will not vacate on time. A higher deposit addresses both. It signals that you plan to leave the home in the same condition and on schedule, and it gives the buyer a financial cushion if something goes wrong, which removes the sticking point before it derails the leaseback discussion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Negotiate the per diem rate as part of the overall deal:<\/strong> The per diem formula starts with the buyer&#8217;s monthly PITI divided by 30, but that calculation is a baseline, not a fixed requirement. Sellers can push the rate down by offering concessions elsewhere in the contract, such as covering a repair item or agreeing to a faster close.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confirm the buyer&#8217;s lender allows the full lease period:<\/strong> Some mortgage lenders restrict leaseback occupancy to fewer than 90 days even though TREC Form 15-7 allows the full 90. If the buyer&#8217;s financing caps the window, your negotiated term is overridden by the loan conditions. Ask the buyer&#8217;s agent about lender restrictions before you finalize the contract so you do not agree to a timeline the lender will not approve.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<h2 id=\"the-bottom-line\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n<p>A seller&#8217;s temporary lease under TREC Form 15-7 comes down to structure and leverage. The form caps occupancy, ties rent to the buyer&#8217;s carrying costs, and assigns maintenance, insurance, and deposit obligations to the seller. Holdover penalties give the arrangement teeth. Every term is negotiable before closing, and both sides benefit from settling the details early rather than scrambling at the closing table.<\/p>\n<p>Buyers hold more leverage than they expect because the seller has already closed, received proceeds, and needs the accommodation. The daily rate, the deposit amount, and the move-out date are all open for negotiation. Sellers who propose clean terms backed by a specific timeline face less resistance than those who leave the ask vague.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"rl-cta-mid\"><a class=\"rl-cta-pill\" href=\"\/lrg-blog\/connect-with-lrg\/?ref=seller-temporary-lease-texas\">Connect with LRG \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<section class=\"rl-resources\">\n<h3>Resources Used<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trec.texas.gov\/forms\/sellers-temporary-residential-lease\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Texas Real Estate Commission: Form 15-7 Seller Temporary Lease<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimberlyhowell.com\/a-look-at-the-sellers-temporary-residential-lease\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Kimberly Howell Properties: Seller Temporary Lease Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.creekstonere.com\/sellers-temporary-residential-lease-texas\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Creekstone Real Estate: Seller Temporary Residential Lease Texas<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"rl-faq\">\n<h2 id=\"frequently-asked-questions\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<details>\n<summary>Which TREC form number covers a post-closing seller leaseback in Texas?<\/summary>\n<p>TREC Form 15-7, titled Seller&#8217;s Temporary Residential Lease, is the standard form for this arrangement. The current version has an effective date of 01\/05\/2026, and TREC publishes it on trec.texas.gov at no charge. Your real estate agent fills out the form as part of the closing package. Third-party templates, samples, or generic leaseback forms found on other websites do not carry the same standing with Texas title companies and lenders. Stick with the TREC version. If the transaction needs terms beyond what Form 15-7 covers, those are added as written amendments rather than substituted documents.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How is daily rent calculated on a Texas seller&#8217;s temporary lease?<\/summary>\n<p>The standard calculation divides the buyer&#8217;s monthly PITI by 30 to arrive at the daily rental amount. PITI covers principal, interest, taxes, and insurance on the buyer&#8217;s new mortgage. That daily figure multiplied by the number of occupancy days equals the total rent for the leaseback period. Both parties can negotiate a different amount, including zero rent as part of broader contract concessions. The full leaseback rent is collected as a lump sum at closing rather than in monthly installments, which simplifies accounting for the title company.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How does the security deposit work on a seller&#8217;s temporary lease?<\/summary>\n<p>The buyer holds a negotiated deposit from the seller to cover potential property damage or unpaid daily rent during the temporary occupancy. After the seller vacates within the agreed term, the buyer returns the balance minus any documented deductions for repairs or lease violations.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Who is responsible for maintenance during a seller&#8217;s leaseback period?<\/summary>\n<p>Under TREC Form 15-7, maintenance falls on the seller as the tenant during the leaseback. That means the seller handles routine upkeep, lawn care, and minor repairs for the duration of occupancy. The seller must return the property in the same condition it was in at closing, minus normal wear. If something breaks due to the seller&#8217;s negligence, the buyer can deduct repair costs from the security deposit. Major systems like HVAC and plumbing remain the buyer&#8217;s concern as the new owner, but the seller should report any issues immediately to avoid disputes at move-out.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Does the seller need to maintain insurance during the leaseback?<\/summary>\n<p>Sellers should carry their own liability insurance or renter&#8217;s policy for the duration of the leaseback. The buyer&#8217;s new homeowner&#8217;s insurance covers the structure, but it does not protect the seller&#8217;s personal belongings or liability while living on the property. If a visitor is injured during the leaseback, the seller&#8217;s insurance responds first. Insurance requirements can be written into TREC Form 15-7 as an additional term. Sellers who cancel their homeowner&#8217;s policy at closing and skip renter&#8217;s coverage leave a gap that could become expensive if something goes wrong.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can a buyer&#8217;s mortgage lender restrict how long the seller stays?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes. While TREC Form 15-7 allows up to 90 days of post-closing occupancy, the buyer&#8217;s mortgage lender can impose a shorter window. Lenders view the property as the buyer&#8217;s primary residence, and a prolonged seller occupancy can conflict with occupancy requirements on the mortgage note. The lender&#8217;s maximum leaseback period varies by loan program and investor guidelines. Buyers should check with their loan officer before agreeing to any leaseback term and get written confirmation that the lender approves the specific number of days. A denied extension after closing creates problems for both sides.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What happens if the seller does not move out by the termination date?<\/summary>\n<p>TREC Form 15-7 includes a holdover penalty clause that kicks in for every day the seller stays past the agreed move-out date. The penalty runs at 1.5 to 2 times the daily rental rate, making it far more expensive than the standard per diem rent. This steep increase discourages sellers from lingering. Beyond the financial hit, the buyer can pursue legal remedies to remove the seller, including eviction proceedings through the local justice of the peace court. Buyers should confirm the exact holdover multiplier is written into the lease before closing.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What happens if the seller needs to stay past the 90-day limit on TREC Form 15-7?<\/summary>\n<p>TREC Form 15-7 caps post-closing occupancy at 90 days. If the seller needs to stay longer, the arrangement no longer qualifies for this form and requires a standard residential lease agreement instead. That shift changes the legal framework. A standard lease brings different tenant protections, different eviction timelines, and different obligations for both parties. Buyers who allow a seller to remain past 90 days without executing a new lease create an ambiguous legal situation. The safest approach is to execute a separate agreement well before the 90-day limit arrives.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<footer class=\"rl-researched\">\n<h2 id=\"how-we-researched-this-article\">How We Researched This Article<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Facts in this article were checked against these primary sources:<\/p>\n<div class=\"bullet-section-gray\">\n<ul>\n<li>Texas Real Estate Commission Seller Temporary Residential Lease Form (trec.texas.gov)<\/li>\n<li>Kimberly Howell Properties Seller Temporary Residential Lease Guide (kimberlyhowell.com)<\/li>\n<li>Creekstone Real Estate Seller Temporary Lease in Texas Guide (creekstonere.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A seller&#8217;s temporary residential lease in Texas, governed by TREC Form 15-7, lets the seller remain in the home as a tenant for up to 90 days after closing.
