Q: What are my rights in this odd situation.
My employer moved me into a house to manage a business for them out of it. I’ve lived here for 2 years with my children and have never paid rent nor do I have a rental agreement. Now the business is closed and he’s telling me I have less than a month to move out and he already had new tenants. I haven’t even been given a written eviction notice. Please help.
A: Assuming you are in Oregon, if housing is provided as part of your job, landlord-tenant laws do not apply. You are required to be given written notice before being able to be evicted BUT only 24 hours written notice is required. So you appear to be given more notice than legally required, even if it is not formally compliant as yet with the rules. All told, you are probably best served by seriously looking for a new residence. Good luck.
