Q: I have a month to month tenant who keeps paying rent late. How can I evict without having to pay relocation fee?
Rent was late two weeks this month.
A: Your rental unit must be within the Portland city limits to be subject to having to pay relocation assistance, and then, only if you terminate their tenancy without legal cause. If rent is chronically late, consider serving the tenant with a 30 day for cause notice. If they are late paying rent again within 6 months, you serve them with a 10 day termination notice and evict if they do not vacate. Good luck.
