IF you are within the city limits of Portland, you can serve a 90 day no cause termination of tenancy notice on one or both. His verbal 30 day notice is unenforceable unless he puts it in writing.

You are going to have to go talk to an attorney to sort this out. It is quite possible that not all property is subject to the Will and the Trust. Just because someone dies with a Will and a Trust doesn't mean that all their property is going to be governed by the terms of the Will and the... View More

While it may depend upon what your lease says, the general rule is that the landlord has to have received it no later than the 4th day of the month (assuming it is officially due on the 1st) and can charge a late fee as of the 5th day if the lease otherwise provides for it. It is not their fault... View More

There are specific requirements as to what information must be included in the 72 hr. notice, and it must be... View More

Your exact status is unclear - are you actually already out? Is it just pending? Did you leave on your own, pursuant to a notice, or as result of a court order? Your options vary depending upon the answers to the above but likely you have few options and, if not resolved very soon, you can end... View More

Residential rent in Oregon is apportioned on a daily basis. So a tenant owes rent for everyday they occupy a dwelling or until their tenancy terminates, whichever comes later. So if you only provide 20 days notice, you will still owe an "extra" 10 days rent assuming you do indeed vacate... View More

The notices may indeed be deficient in terms of how they are worded or in how they were served. You would have to go to trial to assert those defenses if the landlord does not just concede the defectiveness. As for different rent amounts, again, that may or may not invalidate the enforceability... View More

Speaking for most attorneys, we would not want to answer a question that requires the interpretation of a document that we haven't had a chance to read completely.
