A: IF your residential rental dwelling is located within the city limits of Milwaukie, and not just have a Milwaukie mailing address but are outside the actual city limits, then yes, at least 90 days prior written notice (NOT just email, verbal, text message, etc.) has to be lawfully served to a tenant in order to be able to enforce a no-cause termination of tenancy. If this applies to you and you did not get at least 90 days, you may want to review everything with a local landlord-tenant attorney to confirm you have a solid case. Assuming you do, it is the sort of case many attorneys would take on contingency where the attorney would collect their fees from the landlord instead of from you. Best of luck.
