Q: I live in CA but own a residential/commercial property in Shedd Oregon. I need to sell the prop and get person out
This is complicated because it is my own daughter who does not pay rent and I have given her 9 months to move out and she will not answer texts or speak with the realtor who wants access to house to begin the process of selling. this is a second request......I wrote yesterday with no response.
A:
Dealing with a situation where a family member is occupying your property without consent can be particularly stressful, especially when it involves your own daughter and impacts your ability to sell the property. Since you have already provided a generous nine-month notice without any cooperation, it's crucial to take more formal steps to resolve this issue.
First, it would be wise to consult with a lawyer who practices in Shedd, Oregon, where your property is located. They can help you navigate the eviction process in accordance with Oregon's landlord-tenant laws. Your lawyer can assist in drafting and serving a formal eviction notice if one hasn't already been officially given.
Given the resistance you've faced in communicating with your daughter and gaining access to the property, your lawyer might also suggest filing for a court order. This would legally compel her to allow realtor access for showing the property to potential buyers. Legal intervention might seem daunting, but it ensures that you are following the proper steps to protect your rights and proceed with the sale of the property.
