Q: Landlord evicted me illegally and If can prove it can Sue him for moving costs
Thank you for emailing you back we do live in Milwaukie we've lived there 6 months he gave us 41 days to move out it was
verbal eviction I have a text from him proving it was verbal I like to call you if you think I might have a case what time would be a good time to call you to discuss it more
A: While everything depends upon the exact details, in general, he did not give you adequate notice and you likely would have prevailed if he took you to court to evict you. But if you moved out, despite not getting legally adequate notice, you likely have no claim against the landlord since you were not legally required to move and thus did so "voluntarily" legally speaking. While Milwaukie requires at least 90 days notice to terminate a tenancy without cause, to my knowledge they have not yet required relocation assistance payments from the landlord, such as Portland has done.
