A landlord can always dismiss the case in court. A tenant can always try to negotiate a settlement agreement but they cannot force it.

So is there a question here? Sounds like the normal, same bottom line - either you work things out with them or you refuse. In that case they have to decide whether they want to drop the matter; send you to a collection agency (who then has the same options after harassing you and dinging your... View More

Assuming you are in Oregon, it likely depends upon exactly what your lease says about renewal and/or termination. Fixed term leases vary - some automatically roll over into a month to month unless either party provides notice ahead of time that they do not wish to renew; some self renew for... View More

I already answered your question over on Avvo.com but would add that I assume you are on a month to month tenancy (or they couldn't even try to kick you out until the end of the lease without alleging and proving you violated the lease terms somehow). You also don't say what they have... View More

IF the acts complained of were committed on or in the immediate vicinity of the rental premises, then likely yes with a 24 hour written notice. Note that just because the police arrest someone, they have not yet been proven guilty so you might be challenged in an eviction procedure to prove it.

A written lease is not required and makes no difference in this matter. You do not have to give any notice - but you will owe an additional 30 days rent. If you give just 15 days written notice (it must be in writing to be legally valid) before moving out, you would then owe an additional 15 days... View More

They can only give you a 90 day notice if you are on a month to month tenancy, not if you are on a fixed term lease. If the landlord owns more than 4 rental units in Oregon, they should have paid you at least a month's rent as relocation assistance. If not, arguably the notice is invalid.... View More

That is called fraud. You should report it to the organization that paid your rental assistance and to your local police department and, if you wish, to the Oregon Attorney General's Consumer Fraud Division.

Depending upon many factors, including when he transferred his assets and the terms of the Trust, you may be able to collect. Review everything in detail with a local collections attorney or possibly your divorce attorney if that is where the Judgment originated.

You don't say where in Oregon you are located. You are likely to be entitled to a reduction in rent during the time things have not worked. Second, consider asking a Judge to require the immediate repair of the property. Lastly if you are on a month to month tenancy, do understand that your... View More

Is there a question here?

Actually a no contact Order IS a restraining order and while he can ask to have it lifted (you can't per se since the Order isn't directed at you), these sorts of requests are very common and are very rarely granted. You are under subpoena and your presence is NOT elective or voluntary.... View More

Bad idea. First, depending upon the details, eviction may not be a viable option. If you lock out, he is perfectly legal in breaking in to the place of his lawful residence - and it is his lawful residence until a court throws him out. Or he can call the police and they should force you to let... View More

The question really is whether you can actually collect a Judgment from the guy and if so, is it cost effective to try. If not, suing and trying to forcibly collect is a waste of time and money. If worth it, small claims court h

Blame you? Not likely. But close your application and deny payment on it? Sure. If the landlord will not accept the payment, what else are they to do?

It does not void it - it may modify the terms assuming you both agreed to the changes or, depending upon the exact details, it might even be ineffective and unenforceable rendering the original agreement still dominant and controlling. Be sure to have any changes in writing, signed or otherwise... View More

Your situation sounds quite perilous. The "verbal agreement" may well be unenforceable and subject to being rescinded or changed at his whim. If there is no rent, you may not be a tenant and he may not be a landlord. It matters because IF he IS your landlord, it is unlawful to shut off... View More

Security deposits can be used by a landlord for amounts owed the landlord, not for amounts owed others.

There is a statutory list of information that must be included in the document; it must be paid for and filed with the court. Most any attorney can handle the matter for you if you wish.

Sounds like you still owe for half of August. If so, and the landlord complies with the technical requirements, of course you can be evicted for failure to pay your rent. Paying rent is not optional.
