Auburn, WA asked in Landlord - Tenant for Oregon

Q: My Oregon landlord is selling our rental and provided a 90 day notice to vacate which is fine, however he wants to come

To make changes but we have a small infant and a person with compromised immune system so we are concerned about Covid and want him to wait until we vacate to have electricians plumber and general repair people, is it possible to ask that he wait?

A: Your landlord is allowed to have access to the property as long as he gives you 24 hour written notice of their intent to entry the property during reasonable hours. You can schedule a time of which you and your family are not at the property at the time of the appointment or you can request that the everyone ear masks and use hand sanitizer as they enter the property and not enter the room of which your child is in. You can talk to your landlord about your concerns and see if he is willing to accommodate your concerns, but you and your landlord both have to be reasonable in this situation. If you are unsure about the situation you can call a local landlord tenant attorney for a consultation.
