Q: Is this considered retaliatory eviction?
I contacted my deceased fiance's 17 yr old daughter to inform her she's the legal heir to his estate, and his family has sold his mobile home that we shared to the park it sits in, the park manager verbally accosted me, saying that because I went behind her back, she won't accept my rent on the first, she's going to give me a 72 hour eviction notice.
A: First, retaliation is hard to prove. Secondly, the retaliation has to be related to your reporting something to the landlord that is in regards to your tenancy. It would be hard to argue this is, though tangentially I am guessing it is. See this link that lays out the rule: https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/90.385
Gregory L Abbott agrees with this answer
A: If you are given a 72 hr notice, the landlord must accept the payment if submitted within the specifies 72 hours, in an acceptable form (sometimes certified funds are required instead of a personal check, etc.) if it wants to be able to enforce the Notice. If you attempt to timely pay, be sure to have a witness or two that is willing to testify for you if it becomes necessary.
