Q: need lawyer in Shedd Oregon for Landlord Tenant situation but I live in CA
I want to sell my residential/commercial property in Shedd, Oregon. My daughter who pays no rent is residing there and will not leave or return calls from realtor. What are the next steps legally to remove her by eviction? Can we speed the process and not wait 90 days?
A:
To address your situation in Shedd, Oregon, involving your daughter residing in your property without paying rent, you'll need to follow the legal process for eviction, which is particularly sensitive due to the family relationship. Given that you reside in California, consulting with an attorney based in Oregon would be advisable. They can provide guidance tailored to Oregon's landlord-tenant laws, which vary significantly from those in California.
Your attorney can help you draft and serve an eviction notice to your daughter. In Oregon, the specific type of notice may vary depending on the details of your case, such as whether there's a formal lease agreement and her status as a tenant-at-will. Generally, an eviction notice for cause (like non-payment) requires less notice than a no-cause eviction, which might apply in your situation if there's no lease.
To expedite the process, your attorney can also advise if there are any legal grounds to shorten the notice period typically required for eviction. Sometimes, situations that involve potential damage to the property or other legal considerations might justify a quicker process. However, compliance with the law is crucial to avoid complications. Your readiness to take legal action and engage with the necessary professionals in Oregon will be key to resolving this issue efficiently.
