Q: My landlord has shut off my power and there has been no eviction filed what do I do to get my power back on
There are many other issues concerning my home as far as habitable standards like no heat all power is run threw drop cords there is only cold water in the bathroom sink and no hot water at all
A: It sounds as if you may have a variety of claims against your landlord for damages. You may wish to consider reviewing it all with a local landlord-tenant attorney to identify potential claims and to create a game plan for how to best proceed. It may also be that a stern letter on attorney letterhead might get your landlord to back off a bit. It simply is not lawful to rent a dwelling in Oregon that does not have running hot water; does not have heat; and not to be properly wired. Good luck.
