You won't get that in a bigger city. But if you ever find yourself hankering for some big city amenities, Dallas is only 11 miles away. That’s biking distance! And Fort Worth is close enough for a road trip, at 45 miles.

Tips for renting in Mesquite, TX

Taking the leap and moving to Mesquite? Great choice! Here are a couple of tips to keep in mind when renting a place.

In Dallas County, retaliation by a landlord is against the law. Retaliation can include unjustified evictions, neglecting amenities, and raising the rent. If your landlord retaliates in any way, you can contact the city attorney.

In Mesquite, fees can be applied from the very first day rent is late. But some leases do provide a grace period, so be sure to read yours first so you know what's up.

Living in Mesquite, TX
