A: Afraid much of your posting doesn't make sense. Your reference to a relocation payment suggests your dwelling is within the Portland city limits. But if that is true, you need to be given at least 90 days notice for a no cause termination notice. 72 hr notices are for failure to pay rent but you say you have paid the rent. All in all, you may want to take everything in to a landlord-tenant attorney to make sense out of it all and learn your options. IF you were entitled to a relocation assistance payment and it was not given, and/or the landlord did not provide you written notice of your rights to relocation assistance, you may well be entitled to monetary damages, plus your court costs and attorneys fees from your landlord. Good luck.
