Q: What is the Oregon prorate rent law for tenants that give 30 day Notice?
This is my first time dealing with a disagreeable tenant situation as a landlord. So I wish to do this right.
Tenant gave oral 30 day notice on 1/4/20, followed by written notice on 1/5/20. As of 1/8/20 they have fully moved out. They have already paid rent for the month of January.
So I am trying to find out what money From rent paid they get returned? The room is in good condition, so I shall refund all deposit.
A: Assuming you are referring to residential landlord-tenant in Oregon, and the tenant had a month to month tenancy, the written 30 day notice was required for them to terminate their tenancy and they owe rent through the latter of when they actually move out or the end of their 30 days per the Notice. So it sounds as if they owe you rent through Feb. 4, 2020 unless you rent it before then. If rented before then, their rent obligation stops as of when the new tenant assumes responsibility for paying the rent. Be sure to provide a refund/written accounting for what you retain out of the security deposit within 31 days of their moving out. Good luck.
