Q: I have been at my rental for 2 years, and I just received a notice for me to leave by November.
From what I have read it sounds like they need to give me 3 months notice, and they would have to pay me
1 months rent, since they are moving in family. Is this correct?
A: If you have been there for more than a year, a no-cause termination of tenancy notice for a month to month tenancy involving a residency on property different than the landlord's own primary residence must provide at least 90 days advanced written notice (NOT email, text message, voicemail, etc.) properly served (in person, by mail with at least 94 days advanced notice, including the day of mailing). Assuming you are outside the Portland city limits, a landlord must only include the one month's rent relocation assistance payment if they own more than 4 residential dwellings in Oregon. If the landlord does not comply, you may have a defense to any eviction action and possibly be entitled to recover 3 months rent, plus any actual damages, plus your court costs, plus your attorney's fees from said landlord.
