Q: In Oregon the landlord denied my wife’s application for tenet . This is after 2yrs living together at mobile home park
I got married 2yrs ago my moved in with me . The landlord has known about this . & now all of the sudden he has refused the rent made us apply together for approval that was denied ? I am the owner he refuses to give a copy of past rental agreement . And information that reason for denial . My wife is from the philipeans I think he is discriminating
A: Consider reviewing everything with a local landlord-tenant attorney. He can't evict you for failing to pay rent without first issuing you a 72 hour notice - and he has to accept rent if paid within that 72 hrs. Further, if he has accepted rent for 3 or more months knowing that your wife was living there, he has likely waived any right he otherwise might have for requiring her to be on the lease. Lastly, he is required by law to provide you with a copy of your rental agreement and to let you inspect a copy of it in his office if you so request. If you can prove discrimination, then you may have additional claims, so review everything with a local landlord-tenant attorney to determine how to best proceed.
