Central Point, OR asked in Landlord - Tenant for Oregon

A: Unless your lawsuit alleges you have an ownership interest in the Title to the property, absolutely they can sell the property - why wouldn't they? Even if you sue alleging an interest in the Title to the property, they can still sell but it might slow a potential buyer a bit IF you appeared to have a reasonable chance of prevailing.
