Due to this, I have not been paid for the hours I have worked and its about to be payday again. I fear it hasn’t been resolved And I will go another month without pay. Can I demand to be paid immediately? I live in Portland Oregon. I am still working for the company so this wouldn’t have been... Read more »
Yes, if they terminated you, your final check was due no later than the end of the next business day. Now, forcing them to pay immediately is not possible, but you can put pressure on them since they already owe you a penalty of 8 hours of pay for each day they are late, which adds up. That penalty... Read more »
I have already served a tenant with a 30 day no cause eviction notice and it seems as if she plans to wait it out since she has no where else to go. The 30 days expire on the 9th of next month. Do I still collect rent from her on th 1st? And if so do I collect the whole month or a pro rated amount... Read more »
You collect the pro-rated rent through the termination date. If they pay the whole month, you refund the rent for the tenth through the end of the month within 10 days of receiving it. If they do not vacate by the 9th, you go to court to evict them.
The will appoints me as personal representative and states I shall have the power and authority to sell and dispose of any property that i might own at the time of my death. So then could I sell the house to pay off reverse mortgage and split the extra money with my brother?
Probate isn't required in Oregon. Probate is an option if you need the assistance of the court to order tasks needed to resolve a deceased person's estate to get done. In the case of a reverse mortgage you may or may not need probate.
The first thing you will want to do is figure out if... Read more »

What share of the estate is the half sister entitled to
I am sorry to hear of your daughter's death. Your deceased daughter's sister is not entitled to share in wrongful death proceeds because at least one parent (you) is alive.
My sons father's lawyer is requesting bank and credit card statements, I'm confused how the is relevant evidence, since that information is not calculated in regards to child support, so how is that information needed or going to be used? How do I object to that request? His lawyer said he will... Read more »
This information might be relevant to prove what the correct amount of Child Support should be. The type of information they're asking will show your spending power and could lead to them asking about other sources of money that you have other than the income you are declaring. So yeah they can ask... Read more »
I am getting a divorce in Or. No one in Ca seems to know the steps to posting which the judge had orderd it. Please help. No children ot assets
First you need to clarify what you mean by posting? I don't really know what you're talking about but I would guess that it's something like posting a notice because you couldn't find the person to serve him or her. I would never use posting as a form of substituted service. The primary form of... Read more »
He has asked for 6 months of bank statements, 6 months of credit card statements for all in my name, 4 paystubs, 2018 and 2019 tax returns. I understand the pay stubs and tax returns, because the court would request those, but the others seems irrelevant and intrusive.
I get this question in nearly every case. The discovery process can feel intrusive, but the main thing is that the request must be reasonably calculated to lead to relevant evidence. So it would be helpful to know what kind of a case it is. Is it an initial custody case? If so, then bank... Read more »
I was living in the home for 6 years and have been paying the mortgage since her death. The house is her only asset and is in probate. Have been told I have to sell it to pay off her debts. Have a lender who will give me a home equity line of credit if my name is on the deed.
No lender will recognize your authority until you are appointed as executor by the probate court. Keep in mind also that all debts (except the mortgage) eventually expire if you can fend them off long enough.
I have a 5 bedroom house and rent out each room individually on a month to month lease. do I need to give my tenants any kind of formal notice of a new renter moving in other than a basic in person introduction upon new tenant coming over to viewing room for rent, signing lease or picking up keys?
There is no legal obligation to introduce or notify existing tenants that a new, non-affiliated tenant is moving in. Obviously it is the courteous and likely to help promote general harmony among all but they are all on separate leases so each has no legal interest in any other tenant or their... Read more »
I own and rent out 4 bedrooms with individual month to month leases of a house that I do not live in. I occasionally need to go inside to collect rent from the tenants or do basic maintenance. I have never entered any of the tenants bedrooms with out proper 24 hr notice. Can i enter the communal... Read more »
Generally I believe no advanced notice is required for a landlord to enter common areas so long as they can do so without entering or going through an area under a specific tenant's exclusive control. As for cleaning, that likely depends upon what obligations the lease specifies for the tenants.
We have mold problem in our apartment, and the landlord has told us (through our property manager) that we must switch units so they can make repairs. The unit they want us to switch to is much less desirable because it's location (ground floor right beside the dumpster) has a worse view, less... Read more »
You don't say whether this switch is temporary and you move back to your original unit upon completion of the repairs or if this is a permanent switch. If temporary, they likely can do it. If permanent, at best they cannot force you to accept a less desirable unit and they might be liable to you... Read more »

First, ANY rent increase notice must provide at least 90 days notice and be in writing (NOT text, email, etc.), contain the required information, and be lawfully served on the tenant. Further, there is approximately a 10.3% over the past 12 months limit on the amount of rent raise. Further there... Read more »
I own a duplex -i live in half of it. I let a family member move into the other half, and they verbally agreed to pay rent. There is no signed paperwork. They have not paid a dime. How do I get them out?
It depends on the exact details. If there is no dispute as to their agreeing to pay rent, and they are at least 8 days late paying, you serve them a 72 hr notice and if they still do not pay, you no longer accept rent and file to evict them in court. Do understand that there are many technical... Read more »

No, the owner has hired and pays the property managers to handle all the tenant issues and has a right to require you to go through them.

I fell due to a pre-existing medical condition in the middle of a road. I injured my nose and one arm.

I'm sorry you injured your nose and your arm from a fall. As to the question of whether you can sue for excessive radiation exposure from x-rays, the answer - technically - is yes. It's easy to file a lawsuit, and most anyone can file a lawsuit for virtually anything. There is a filing fee... Read more »
No, but why on Earth would you not? It makes everything clearer and tends to make a Judge happier than if there is no time specified. You may also, of course, be responsible for including compliance with any/all relocation assistance statutes and/or Ordinances.
