I believe you are the same person as who posted this at Avvo, and yes, you need a personal injury attorney. That said, attorneys here and there cannot solicit your business, you have to contact them first. This is partly the rules on the websites, but also partly the somewhat archaic bar rules.

Not sure why this is posted in Oregon since this is a WA issue. I would suggest seeking out a free consultation with a landlord-tenant attorney in your area. They can go over whether or not you have a case worth pursuing.

The question would become was the tenant a month-to-month tenant or a week-to-week or less tenant. If you have monthly checks, it would show it was month to month, and as such he had to give at least 30 days notice before terminating his tenancy.

This is a really specific matter, and odds are you will not find an attorney who happens by here with the specific knowledge for your legal issue. You will probably need to seek out someone who handles board decisions (professional malpractice) for professional licenses. While not the same, but... View More

If you have surrendered possession of the unit, they can rent it out and a new occupant can move in.

Based just off what you wrote, hard to know. The key is not whether they pay you out from year to year, but what is their policy as to paying it out upon termination/separation? Many companies have written polices on the topic, and those are generally controlling on the topic. Now the fact that... View More

You have also asked this on Avvo.com, so I would recommend waiting for responses there.

First, if you knew all about his past to begin with, why did you agree to date him let alone move for him? While not a legal question, it is something to ponder, as a jury will do the same if you went all the way to court on many of your above issues.

Otherwise, I would also suggest not... View More

Must be written. Send via first class mall, and be sure to keep a copy. I would also recommend via email as well.

I would not recommend calling the police. This is a civil matter. What likely happened is the downstairs neighbor has probably complained a few times to management and increased that lately. The management then does have to investigate, and it is possible they simply ignored it before since you... View More

Contact his probation officer and tell them of the parole violation. That may get him sent to jail and out of your hair temporarily. If the tenant then stops abusing alcohol, that may solve the other issues. Otherwise, you could start the eviction process, but I would suggest hiring an attorney for... View More

See the last portion of this article: https://www.osbar.org/public/legalinfo/1248_HousingDiscrimination.htm

Then call the number listed for Fair Housing.

As long as they are not trespassing, yes.

The Oregon Rules of Professional Conduct would prohibit a material misstatement. Most states have similar rules, but no idea as to if this was a legitimate law firm or even an attorney. Even if it was a staff person at a firm, the attorney could get in trouble. I would suggest contacting the state... View More

Unlike residential rentals, there are few laws related to self-storage units. The main one relates to liens (http://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/87.687). Thus, this would be governed by your contract with the facility.

If it is for non-payment of rent, yes. Anything else, likely not.

Did you have any sort of written lease? The issue comes down to what was our lease, and if it was month to month, then the eviction notice has to give you 60 days to vacate. If you were in say a year-to-year lease and only six months in, he could not evict you without cause.

Since it is not your insurance, you do not have to cooperate in this way. In fact, it is in your best interest not to, since much of this would likely end up in the hands of the other insurance company. The reason that is bad, is you have a case against the driver of the other car for more than... View More

Depending on your illness, it may qualify under ADA as needing to be accommodated. Such a reasonable accommodation could include the use of something like oxycodone.

Further, must drug tests are testing for illegal drugs. If you have a prescription then it is not illegal, but it is usually... View More
