Eugene, OR asked in Landlord - Tenant for Oregon

Q: Do I have to move out of my home with a 72 hour notice?

Mrs Landlord defintely wants me to move out. HUD renewed my contract March 1st. This contract is good for 1 year. I'm disabled and I have lived in this house 27 yrs. I am not physically able to pack up and move. I definetly don't have the money to move! Mrs Landlord craves revenge. She even had my "not running" car towed a junk yard.

A: A 72 hr notice is only for failure to pay rent - and if you do not timely pay your rent, then yes, you are highly likely to have your tenancy terminated and forced to move out. I am not clear whether the contract is just between you and HUD or if it is also with the landlord, essentially being a fixed term lease keeping you there at least until March 1st next year. Even if it is a fixed term lease, you still have to pay your rent. Yes, the notice tells you to either pay or get out within 72 hours. In reality, if you do neither, then they have to go to court to evict you which provides you at least a couple more weeks to actually move.
