First, PLEASE STOP using all caps. It is considered yelling on the internet.

Secondly, again, take your lease and documents to a local landlord-tenant attorney. Frankly, there are few attorneys hanging out in this forum, and it is difficult for any attorney to give a good answer without... View More

What I meant about what would be on the lease (remember you took over an existing lease, so the original lease) is that all tenants are likely liable for the rent, not just their portion. The real issue you have is with the prior tenants who didn't pay the bill.

If you want to fight... View More

This sounds like one of the problems with taking over a lease, especially one like this where it appears there were multiple roommates. Most likely, the lease you took over explains your situation regarding the fees and that all renters are jointly liable for the amounts.

Lastly, while it... View More

If the property is in Ashland, and the tenant has been there at least a year, then you have to give them 60 days notice.

Not sure what an AFH is, but unless this is a union job (or you are a minor), then yes they can. This assumes they are paying you properly including any overtime.

Assuming we are talking about Uber or Lyft or the like, the question is still whether or not you are an employee or independent contractor. If the later, then the contractor would be. If the former, if the ticket goes to you as an employee, then the employee likely needs to since illegal acts are... View More

You still have to pay rent, otherwise they can work to evict you. You could send them a letter offering to settle the amount you owe by not paying rent for however long it takes to go through what they owe you. Your main leverage is that statutory interest of 9% per year attaches, so the amount can... View More

This is a bit confusing, as at the end you say you were fired. Anyway, appeal the decision as outlined in your denial letter. Then be prepared to address the reasons for the denial (not just everything bad the employer did) with actual evidence. For instance, you say you were assaulted at work and... View More

Yes. If they know what they are doing, they can try a few times to serve you, and if unsuccessful, apply to the court to have you served by publication. If you are served by publication, unless you read the court notices section of the paper, you would be served and not know it. There are also some... View More

Depends on how many records (locations) you are looking to obtain. Then, in addition to the cost of the attorney, most places also then charge a fee for the copies. That varies from place to place, and can vary depending on the number pages in your file. Some places, such as Kaiser, will charge a... View More

Not sure why this popped up for Oregon, since it says you posted from Tacoma. Anyway, find a local employment law attorney to discuss.

Unlikely you would prevail against the police on this, as they did not do the damage. If you have insurance, file a claim. If the claim is accepted, your insurance company my go after the police in subrogation if they think there is a case.

I would suggest finding a landlord tenant attorney near you to consult with. Most offer free initial consultations, and if you have a good case they will often take the case on a contingency basis since in landlord tenant cases there are provisions for attorney's fees.

No, they cannot break your original lease, or at least not without negotiating it with you.

Really hard to say, as it is my understanding that it is not uncommon to have small lumps that may not warrant a biopsy. I would search out a firm that does medical malpractice, specifically as to cancer-related cases as they would have the right experience for your issue.

You potentially could be a whistleblower and have protection that way, more so for the ATF records.

Assuming you are attempting to find an attorney to sue the jail over the injury, you just need to find a personal injury attorney who handles civil rights cases against the government. Do a Google search for civil rights prison lawsuit Portland and start calling around. If you or your friend have a... View More

I'm not in my office, so I can't look up the statutes, but there are a few on the books that should allow you to go after the storage place. If I recall correctly, there are certain procedures that need to be followed before they can sell your items. An attorney can review those and your... View More

Not sure, but it sounds like you were overpaid for unemployment, and they are attempting to recover the over payment.

You could actually do a for cause eviction sooner, but I would highly recommend hiring an attorney to do it for you as it will get complicated. Plus, if you mess up, not only is the tenant not out, but you would potentially have to pay their attorney's fees.
