It all depends upon the exact timing, nature of notice's provided, whether the tenant left voluntarily or was evicted by the court, etc. 2020 contained many alterations of normal landlord-tenant law due to Covid and many changes were temporary, changing one or more times during the calendar...

You need to immediately talk with a local landlord tenant attorney. You likely have damage claims against the landlord and perhaps criminal as well. Anytime you tell a landlord to leave the inside of your home (or anyone else for that matter) and they do not, call the police!

You should deny him entry at least until after the quarantine is finished.

If you are asking if you write "Paid in Full" on a check's memo line and submit it for less than the full amount of the bill, and it is cashed, are you off the hook for the balance of the bill, the answer is NO. If you have a written agreement specifying the creditor is settling for... View More

The balance of what? You can try arguing that but the statutory waiver provisions resulting from a partial acceptance of rent waives a landlord's right to terminate a tenancy under ORS 90.394. IF you went to trial and the court issued a Judgment, there no longer IS an issue of the... View More

It depends upon whether she can legally be classified as a tenant. If so, you go through the hoops to terminate her tenancy and evict if necessary. If not a tenant (likely given your brief description), then you have to file to eject her from the house. Eviction and ejection share similar goals -... View More

You have to provide them with a written 90 day no cause termination of tenancy notice that specifies all the legally required information and which is lawfully served upon the tenants. See ORS 90.427

Of course they can - and you are free to decline them entry or to ask them to leave. If they don't, call the police.

When you say you opened it together, if you co-signed the rental agreement, the storage facility should have no problem allowing you access as long as your rent is paid to date. If you are not on the rental agreement, then your daughter will have to access the unit or possibly the storage facility... View More

Whomever is the owner when you leave will owe you the security deposit, regardless of whether the current owner has transferred the deposit to the new owner or not.

It depends upon where the rental dwelling is located and how long the tenants have been there. IF less than a year, you may have a relatively easy path. If they have been there more than a year, there are very limited permitted reasons for a landlord to either terminate an existing tenancy or to... View More

You don't say what they are trying to collect - just a bill or a court Judgment? Either way, if the underlying bill is valid, then interest on that bill is likely to be valid as well. But if it is not a Judgment, then the Statute of Limitations may still be in effect. IF you have made no... View More

It likely depends upon the extent of the habitability violations. Dripping faucet? Crack in outer window pane? No, your on a lease. Holes in the floor, walls, and ceilings? You probably could get out of the lease. Either way, your main remedy is to force the landlord to repair and comply.

It depends on the details - but bottom line is of course they can get rid of you, it is their house! The only question is how soon and how much hassle it will be to do so. The answer to those questions depends on the exact details - how long you have been there; is there any rental agreement... View More

Substantial repairs requiring a tenant to vacate is a permitted reason for a landlord to issue a 90 day no cause termination of tenancy notice. Assuming the Notice contained the required information and was lawfully served, it likely is valid and likely enforceable. IF you move out and the... View More

Trying to do this yourself without an attorney is fraught with peril. You have already made several serious errors. Notices have to be either 30 days if they have been there less than a year or 90 days with a permitted reason. ALL landlord-tenant written notices being mailed MUST be mailed... View More

As long as you have been there for over a year, a landlord can only terminate your tenancy without cause with a permitted reason - and they are few. Even then they have to give you at least 90 days advanced written notice and possibly relocation assistance if the owner owns more than 4 rental... View More

You either renew the lease or move elsewhere. If you do neither, you could possibly face eviction. Covid moratorium rules help protect against being evicted for failure to pay rent - NOT against your staying past the end of your lease without permission.

That would be up to the District Attorney - you know, the fellow that subpoenaed you to start with and who is relying upon your testimony? Subpoena's are not optional; subpoena's are not an invitation. They are a court Order for you to appear and testify. If you thumb your nose at the... View More

IF you are allowed to also pay in cash or check, without a surcharge, and the credit card processing company charges the landlord $50 to process your payment, it may (or may not) be legal (the law specifies it may be legal under the above circumstances for the landlord to pass along charges for...
