Things that require written notice, such as no-cause termination notices, are technically served on the day they are mailed and the compliance date is extended the 4 days (including day of mailing). That means the landlord likely avoided violating the Governor's moratorium order and thus is... View More

There is little you can do until the Covid 19 crisis is declared to be over. The courts are essentially closed, at least until April 30 and the Governor has suspended most landlord-tenant actions until June 20th. After that whether you can enforce termination notices that occurred during the... View More

You don't say if you were her "landlord" or if both of you had a third person who was your landlord. Either way, you likely can declare her property abandoned and follow the procedures specified in ORS 90.425. Essentially you have to mail her a letter notifying her you consider the... View More

It depends upon when you were served (or perhaps when the Notice was issued) a No Cause Termination of Tenancy Notice and possibly where you are located in the State of Oregon. Any such Notice issued on April 1, 2020 or later is unenforceable; unlawful; and technically may be a misdemeanor. No... View More

No - it is 5 years State wide. Within the City of Portland boundaries, as of March 1, 2020 the City "recommends" a three year look back period be used but does not require it, though if more than 3 years is used, a landlord now has more hoops to jump through before legally being able to...

To give you a satisfactory answer it is important to know who you paid your rent to. Did you pay your rent to your ex-partner or did you pay your rent to the landlord?

You should talk to a local landlord-tenant to discuss your options and determine if you have a case.

There are many potential issues here. First, if Grandma owns the property, only Grandma or her appointed agent has the authority to have someone removed. If she has dementia, that could be a problem in court unless someone else has her POA or is a guardian or conservator for her. The next... View More

That can certainly be distressing but nothing you posted indicates that you have actually suffered any specific harm from the exposure so what are your damages? Plus, a landlord is not a guarantor that nothing will go wrong. Rather it is their duty to fix problems with reasonable diligence once... View More

That would seem to be a landlord's acceptance of your surrender of the premises - and that would terminate any further obligations you have under your rental agreement. If you have already moved out anyway, you cannot be evicted so the only thing the landlord could do is try to collect from... View More

This isn't a family law problem. This is in the ball park of a landlord tenant or contract issue. You can't control who your roommate invites over. You can report the theft to the police if you think there is sufficient proof that the police will be able to pursue the complaint. You... View More

Normally yes, you may have rights to terminate your lease and move penalty free. You also normally have the right to sue the landlord in court for damages and/or injunctive relief (court order to the landlord to do something specific). However at the moment Oregon courts are essentially shut down... View More

In Oregon, a landlord has a responsibility to rid rental dwellings of all insect, rodent, and vermin infestations. But the tenant must first provide notice of the problem and allow the landlord adequate time to cure the problem. If a landlord does not, a tenant has a variety of potential... View More

A landlord does not have to accept rent paid after a 72 hr deadline and normally can proceed to evict if they wish. Currently however no court in Oregon is processing or enforcing residential landlord-tenant cases so the landlord can do little at the moment to enforce rent payments. If they DO... View More

Yes, but only for a "permitted" reason as specified in ORS 90.427 and by following the required procedures including being potentially required to pay the state-wide relocation assistance of one month's rent if the landlord is not exempt.

You need to post an expanded, more coherent question. A 14 Day what? 30 Day For Cause Notice w/14 days to cure? Did landlord take rent before or after a Notice of Termination? Exactly what type of Notice was issued? What does "Action was false" mean? Current court status? Have you... View More

Prior evictions within the prior 5 years can be considered by potential landlords in deciding whether to accept a tenant applicant; 3 years within the Portland city limits.

Assuming you are referring to a rental in Oregon but not within Portland city limits, you must properly terminate his tenancy, either for cause or for no cause. Since your rental agreement was verbal only, it is a month to month tenancy. If you wanted to limit it to a 5 month term, it had to be a... View More

No. It applies to residential rentals. Storage facilities are commercial leases. You still, however, are entitled to either a refund or an accounting for whatever deposit(s) you made at the beginning of the lease.

I am not clear what sort of 30 day notice you were given but regardless, a landlord must provide at least 24 hours advanced notice of their intent to enter unless you otherwise invite them in. The most important immediate thing you can do is to fully document each unlawful entry as fully as you... View More

Generally a fixed term lease becomes a month to month at the end of its term. However, you should read your lease agreement for terms of what happens at the end of the fixed term. You should also read the your lease for the terms of vacating as you have to give your notice in writing or within a... View More
