Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Section 91.006-Landlord’s Duty to Mitigate Damages (a) A landlord has a duty to mitigate damages if a tenant abandons the leased premises in violation of the lease. (b) A provision of a lease that purports to waive a right or to exempt a landlord from a liability or duty under this section is void.

Detailed explanation-2: -The essential information about the residential property, the renter, the property owner, the length of the lease, and the amount of rent for the given term are all contained in a rental agreement, which is also known as a rent deed or lease deed.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a tenant breaches a lease, a landlord must take affirmative steps to lessen the damages caused by the breach.
