Q: How much time do I have to vacate my premises if I miss my eviction trial?
We have an eviction trial on Dec 2 and we are uncertain we can attend. Oregon provides 4 days to the tenant to move out generally, but is this contingent upon whether the tenant attends the trial? Wondering if the tenant can be evicted immediately upon not attending the trial or if the 4 days is still allotted?
A: You would still be entitled to 4 days notice of a court evicting you. But depending upon the circumstances, you might be able to get the trial postponed or more than 4 days even if you lose, all at the Judge's discretion. But you have to talk with the court.
