Commercial License to Lease Bingo Premises  

A Commercial Lessor License is required by any person (sole owner, partnership, corporation, Limited Liability Company (LLC), association, or other entity, including an organization licensed to conduct charitable bingo) that intends to lease or otherwise make available a hall or other premises to an organization licensed to conduct charitable bingo in Texas. A person who leases premises only to an organization that has been issued a non-regular temporary license does not need a commercial lessor’s license. The location of the premises must be in an area which has legalized bingo.

FAQs

Can building owners lease facilities to organizations to conduct charitable bingo without a license?

No. Building owners must have a license to lease bingo premises even if they intend to charge no rent unless the organization is conducting bingo under a temporary license.

Can I receive one check from the organizations for rent and expenses?

Rent must be paid in a lump sum. Utilities, taxes, insurance, and other expenses may be paid separately.
