I recently moved to a one bedroom apartment been here almost 4 months and sign a 6 month lease never pay my rent late and had no troubles with the neighbors or landlord but the landlord left a 90 day eviction no cause notice for no reason I live in Portland, Or (Multnomah) I was hoping to see if I can have the landlord pay my moving expenses he never mention anything about evicting me after my lease was up he said he would renew it every 6 months for 2 years but Idk why his evicting me he doesn’t answer my calls
A: You should take your lease and the Notice, along with any other documents you have from the landlord, to a local landlord-tenant attorney for a comprehensive review. It sounds likely that the 90 day notice may be invalid and unenforceable, and that you were/are eligible for monetary damages or relocation assistance payment or (most likely) both, along with your court costs and attorney's fees. It is the sort of case which an attorney might take on a contingency, meaning you would not have to pay the attorney anything for fees beyond the initial evaluation interview. Rather he/she would rely upon collecting them from the landlord upon settling or winning the case.
