Q: Do I have a right to a peacefull place to live? I have a noisy neighbor late at night. Managment won't help.
I have complained in writing at least 10 times by email to the management company about my neighbor in a duplex I live in. They keep giving me the runaround and I've called the police several times. Now the neighbor is harassing my family and I. Still the management company refuses to help. Do I have any legal course of action to force the management company to resolve the issue?
A: Normally yes, you may have rights to terminate your lease and move penalty free. You also normally have the right to sue the landlord in court for damages and/or injunctive relief (court order to the landlord to do something specific). However at the moment Oregon courts are essentially shut down and expect to be at least until March 27 and likely past that. So even if you tried to file in court, nothing would happen until the courts re-open.
