Q: Am I required to pay reloc assistance to end a month-to-month lease in pdx if I am also ending a property mgt contract?
I have a month to month lease with my tenant in Portland via a property mgt. company that I hired. I would like to have the tenant leave and terminate the contract with the property mgt co. Do I have to pay relocation assistance to the tenant in this case? This is my only rental unit. It would be a no-cause termination of the month-to-month lease.
A: If the rental dwelling is within the Portland City limits, you may be subject to paying the relocation assistance. There is not enough information here to know if you qualify for any exemption, but because you used a property manager, or that you are terminating that manager, or because you only have 1 rental, none are grounds to not pay the relocation assistance. Questions? Consider reviewing it all with a landlord-tenant attorney. Good luck.
