Q: Boss had me move to work for him. Gave me free rent. Worried he will fire me and won't have a place to live.
Lived in Portland OR when i got a call from a old boss basically begging me to come to Grant's Pass to help him with his business. He has a dispensary and a living quarters above it. He said I could live there for free while I work for him. I only agreed because I still have a lease in Portland I still have to pay for if I did this. Now have come to find out he is super verbally abusive and just about had it then I stood up for myself. I am worried he is going to fire me. Since I've been here working for him my car broke down and worried if he tried to fire me I will be homeless and no where to go. I was wondering if there was a Law so he had to give me at least a number of days to leave these premises at least or anything. I'm so scared, help please!
A:
Unfortunately, you have fewer protections as an employee in these situations: https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/91.120
He could evict in 24 hours, or at least has to wait 24 hours before he files. Most courts take a couple weeks before you get to your first hearing, so you would have a little time.
