Re: Rights on your property when you are Renting it out.

The law says own or control.

What the owner of rented or leased property can legally do is a messy area of law, which I know practically nothing about.

Castle Doctrine is a justification for the use of deadly force only when a person is "unlawfully and with force" entering a premises or vehicle. But if a tenant shoots you, the fact that he will be convicted of a felony is cold comfort.

Re: Rights on your property when you are Renting it out.

The law (PC 46.02) says that you can carry a handgun "on the person's own premises or premises under the person's control."

However, it's not clear how you can get there legally, unless you can park a vehicle on your property.

IMHO, getting into a gunfight with people with whom you have an ongoing dispute is a recipe for disaster. Using the services of lawyers or law enforcement personnel seems like a better option.

BTW, I once had a tenant threaten to kill me. He was just a drunk with loose lips.

I completely swore off renting property after several incidents of that sort.
