Q: Milwaukie Oregon - 68% rental increase with “day 1” of the 90day notice being 2/27- day 608 too effect. Is this ok?
Postmarked 2/26 but Iv read that day 1 of the notice is the day after postmark. So if the rental increase notice is started on day 1 - and day 1 is the same day 608 was actually signed and became effective immediately, would it fall as notice before or after law. Basically, is it valid?
Others in the complex got an even higher percentage increase (we all paid different amounts but the increase put everyone at the same rent price. So some people’s rent went up 75% or more. Mine was just 68%
A: No one can tell you whether the notice is valid without seeing it but first, the governor signed the bill into law, and it became effective, Thursday, Feb. 28, so if your notice was postmarked on Feb 26, it is not defective because of the date it was issued. If you want to know for sure, you need to take both your lease and the notice to a landlord-tenant attorney for review. Depending upon whether the landlord bills you for any utilities (water? sewer? trash?), you might want to have the attorney review those charges as well since many complexes are in apparent violation of those requirements. Good luck.
