Q: Do Portland, Oregon's new tenant ordinances (covering 90-day notice and moving expenses) apply when property is sold?
In particular, when the tenant is evicted (no cause), and the buyer will be an owner/occupier. My understanding is that the Oregon statute requires only a 30-day notice in this situation. I have lived at the property for three years and one month. First two years I had a lease. The last 13 months were a month-to-month tenancy. My landlord owns two residential rental properties in the city.
A: This is a very new law and I haven't read it. There is already a lawsuit filed to contest the law. So it may be a while before the final version of the law is formulated. Also there is a move in the the Oregon Legislature to come up with some type of law for the entire State of Oregon similar to what Portland passed. I would imagine that law firms the represent landlords are putting up blogs on their websites that explain the impact of the new law. Trying a google search on the law and see what blogs you find.
