Salem, OR asked in Landlord - Tenant for Oregon

Q: Can I send out a 90 day for cause Owner qualifying reason? and NOT pay the tenant for having to move?

I own a duplex with my brother in law he lives in his side of the duplex and I rented it out but now I am wanting to move into my side of the duplex. Do i have to pay the tenant since I am asking them to move out? or am I in the clear since it is the only property I own? Also what do I need to write for supporting facts? Do I just say that it is the only property I own and I will be moving in?

A: Without additional information including when your tenant moved in, when the lease is set to expire, and what city the rental property is located in, I cannot answer your question. If the property is located in the city of Portland, the answer is generally yes, but there are a lot of factors that can change the amount you would have to pay or to determine if you are exempt as well. If you have not reached out to a local landlord-tenant attorney, you should and they can assist you in drafting and serving the notice and with any relocation assistance if it applies.
