Q: in oregon does the tenant entitle to a copy of his year lease from his landlord has denied me five times
for the last six month we have been arguing what we agree on. now she wants me to leave making it a 11 month instead 12 month lease in witch i thought it was.
A: Yes, by law, you are entitled to a copy of your written lease. As for the entries, document each one carefully - time, date, witnesses, other proof. You may be entitled to a months rent for each one you can prove occurred within the last year. If you want to consider going after the landlord for your damages, review it all with a landlord-tenant attorney. If you win in court, in addition to your damages, the landlord would likely be liable for your court costs and your attorney's fees. Good luck.
