You make an appointment and review everything with a local landlord-tenant attorney. If you can show financial need, contact the Oregon Law Center for free or reduced cost legal advice.

An emotional support animal is "prescribed" by a doctor. So yes, you can be required to produce a letter from your doc prescribing the ESA. It does not have to say why or details of your case.

This is a question for your defense attorney. You should not post anything about the incident online and only talk with your attorney about it. Your freedom could be at stake.

Sure. No lien release until they are paid in full. Why would you think anything else?

Yes, if separately given. A Power of Attorney expires the moment the person it is for expires. It automatically terminates at the moment of death.
Children). New owners have 4 children and insisted dog would be exercised, get lots of love, have plenty of space, etc. They purchased him and took him home last week.

You are not responsible for what their dog did, especially if you warned them to begin with.
Paying$600 for utilities now he's kicking me out. He's now charging me for storage.can he do that
answered on Dec 20, 2023
You need to review everything with a local landlord-tenant attorney. He may or may not have the right to charge you for utilities (separately metered?) and cannot just start charging you for other, non-agreed to charges.
Also landlord sent me a letter stating I left things ɓehind. I have witnesses. How should I dispute this.
answered on Dec 13, 2023
If you dispute the amount taken from your deposit, you are free to sue the landlord for twice the amount wrongfully withheld
You can do this in small claims court if it totals less than $10,000 or in regular circuit court for any amount though you likely want an attorney for that.
I am an alleged victim. I was wondering if I can get a court appointed attorney because I recanted my statement for being on pain medication and intoxicated
answered on Dec 3, 2023
If you are charged with a crime, you likely will be eligible for a court appointed attorney. No crime, no appointed attorney.
My landlord wanted to serve me a termination notice. She said she was instructed by her attorney to deliver it to me personally but she has been extremely retaliatory and abusive so I didn't want personal contact with her. She said she would leave it in the laundry room that her tenants share... View More

Assuming you are talking about a rental in Oregon, yes, technically only three methods of service are valid - personal, by mail, and/or posted on the door and mailed if a written lease provides for it. Leaving it in the laundry room does not comply. A creative attorney for her might be able to... View More

Just as the statute says - a result is non-appealable for the plaintiff/claimant; it is appealable by a defendant.
Suppose I have submitted an invoice to get a reimbursement, but the authority asks me to open my Amazon account and wants to see the order history from there. Can I deny it legally?
only to start again two years later for the same debt on the same case number?
answered on Nov 6, 2023
A Writ of Garnishment for wages expires after 90 days and a new one must be served if the creditor wishes to continue garnishing thereafter. The creditor may garnish (or re-garnish) anytime during the time the Judgment is valid. Interest continues to accrue on the debt of course until the earlier... View More
After I pointed out that they hadn’t replaced a broken bathroom fan after a year of asking and they underpaid me for an unrelated job, my landlord sent me a rent increase letter (a month after signing a lease renewal at the same rate) and daily notices with eviction warnings. I had never received... View More

If you already were in court - that was your time to press a retaliation claim. Depending upon the details, you may still be able to file a new lawsuit for damages but do so knowing that retaliation claims are difficult to win and if you lose, you may owe his court costs and attorney's fees....

I rent a space for $1050 per month for my business and my lease lasts 5 years. I found a better space I want to move to. I need to break my lease to move to a new location
answered on Nov 6, 2023
Sure a tenant can break a commercial lease - but they will continue to owe the rent until the sooner of either the lease expires by its own terms or a new tenant takes over renting the space (presumably for at least as much rent). If you can bring a new, replacement tenant, that might solve the... View More
I Avoided the DA because me and my family are afraid and I have no transportation. So will they help with any of it
answered on Nov 6, 2023
Talk to the DA and see what, if anything, they are willing to do. Being afraid to talk with them, however, doesn't really make much sense given that you probably are the star witness against BF so as soon as he gets out he may come looking for you in order to stop or at least discourage you...

If you went to trial without an attorney against an opponent who had one, no surprise that you lost. Once the Judge has ruled, either you comply or you appeal - but you have a limited time to appeal if you are going to.

You don't begin to provide enough information for anyone to even understand your situation let alone properly advise you.

I am not clear as to your current status - are you still in possession and an active tenant or have you restored possession to the landlord, moved out, and now are dealing with the landlord's accounting and attempt to charge you? One bleach stain sounds to be chargeable to you and they should... View More
