Q: landlord is selling giving me a 30 day "eviction notice" Lane county. Don't they have to give me more time?
They are upset because I asked that the lock box be removed from the front door as we don't have a showing agreement with set times, frequency ect. She doesn't want to compensate me for a showing agreement so she text me this morning saying a 30 day eviction notice will be sent.
A: First, are you on a month to month tenancy? If so, have you been there for a year or more? If you are on a term lease rather than a month to month tenancy, the landlord has no right to terminate your tenancy until after your lease term has expired. Any termination of tenancy notice MUST be in writing (NOT email, text, etc.) and lawfully served to you - either personally handed to you (not slipped under the door, handed to your child, etc.); mailed to you regular first class mail (NOT certified or other form of restricted delivery) with at least an additional 3 days added for the mailing time; or, if your written lease provides for it, by posting a copy on your main entrance door AND mailing you a copy by first class mail (no extra 3 days required). How much notice is required for a no-cause termination? 30 days if you have been there less than 1 year; 60 days if you have been there for a year or more. Finally, it is unlawful for a landlord to retaliate against you by trying to terminate your tenancy because your insistence upon your tenant's rights or other complaints about rental conditions. The burden of proof, however, is on you and is difficult for you to prove. Good luck.
