Kent, WA asked in Landlord - Tenant for Oregon

Q: What are my options minus an appeal when a judge refuses to accept receipts proving rent is paid, but Evicts them anyway

I owned my Mobile Home that was attached to to the land since 2017 in Oregon. In 2021 the Mobile Home Park was sold and the new owner. I was taken to court 6 times in 15 months, 2 of those appearances being trial in which I won 1 of the trials or so I thought. Out of the 6 scheduled appearances,the Landlord and his Attorney only appeared 2 times at trial. I moved for the court to dismiss the Eviction 4 out of 6 times when only I appeared. After the trial on 3/10/23, the Judge awarded possession of my real property Mobile home to my landlord, but then awarded him upwards of $5000 for me not removing it from the property that I was now not allowed to go to.

A: If you went to trial without an attorney against an opponent who had one, no surprise that you lost. Once the Judge has ruled, either you comply or you appeal - but you have a limited time to appeal if you are going to.
