Q: how to charge a tenant , in Oregon, that gives a 20 day notice instead of a 30 day written notice to vacate
A: Assuming the tenant is on a month to month tenancy and it is the tenant that gave the notice, you simply charge the tenant through day 30 (i.e. an extra 10 days) as long as they actually restore possession to you on or before then. If they don't restore possession to you until day 32, then you charge them rent through day 32 (12 "extra" days). If they just vacated without giving you any notice, then you would charge them 30 days "extra" rent. Any rent remaining due after they vacate, of course, can be deducted from any security deposit as long as you provide the tenant with a written accounting reflecting the charge within 31 days of the end of their tenancy and restoration of possession.
