NO! You would be abandoning a non-working vehicle on a public street, which, of course, is illegal. I would first see if the police will have it towed since it is on private property and blocking access. If they refuse, there is a whole process for dealing with tenant abandoned cars that you...

If the current lease is signed by 3 co-tenants and one wants out at the end of the lease term, then arguably they are the ones not renewing (as long as you offer to renew but only to all 3). Entering into a new lease with just the remaining 2 is certainly an option if all of you agree, but... View More

Your consternation is understandable but IF they posted the notice on your door at least 24 hours before they actually entered, it most likely is legal since posting it on your main entrance door is a lawful way of serving you with the notice. Want to avoid a repeat in the future? When you leave... View More

Certainly - and is one reason to have separate leases rather than all on one. The terms of the landlord's agreement with one tenant does not have to be the same as with a different tenant, so long as they are on different leases. It also means that you can't get evicted if she does not... View More

No offense, but your posting does not make a lot of sense. You refer to serving both 144 hr and 72 hr notices; if both sides appeared in court, there would not have been a default Judgment since neither side defaulted if they showed up.

It sounds likely that a new 72 hr notice needs to... View More

Assuming you are referring to residential landlord-tenant in Oregon, and the tenant had a month to month tenancy, the written 30 day notice was required for them to terminate their tenancy and they owe rent through the latter of when they actually move out or the end of their 30 days per the...

This is a very broad question and you do not state whether you are the landlord or the tenant. Do you mean can a landlord text a tenant a notice about the amount of rent that is increasing in relation to renewal of lease or is this in context of how much rent is owed every month for a lease that is...

Assuming you are referring to residential landlord-tenant in Oregon, there IS no such thing as a 10 day no cause termination of tenancy notice - you are entitled to 90 days prior written notice and even then only for a permissible reason. Locking you out is not lawful and likely entitles you to... View More

First, although you do not say, I am assuming you are referring to residential landlord-tenant in Oregon. If so, then one needs to carefully read your existing lease to determine what it says about termination and/or any form of renewal. That said, you are correct that you likely are entitled to...

IF this is a lease for an Oregon rental premises, you are required to submit the proposed new rental agreement to your tenant at least 60 days prior to the ending date of the term. If they chose not to continue the lease at the end of the term, no you do not have to pay a relocation fee. IF this is... View More

No rental agreement? Don't pay rent? Not likely to be a landlord-tenant relationship between you and them. IF no landlord-tenant relationship, likely means landlord-tenant laws do not apply. So you maybe able to be ejected but likely not evicted. An ejection can be filed without giving you any... View More

I am unclear what a 3 strike 90 day eviction is (generally 90 day notices are for no-cause termination notices), but regardless, a tenant always owes rent for every day they are in possession of the premises and additionally for any additional days required by a notice of termination of the...

It sounds like your landlord has failed to maintain your premises in habitable condition as required under Oregon Law and if your landlord has done this you can give written notice to your landlord specifying the breach and you may seek substitute services, diminution in rent damages or substitute...

The exact details are critical here. IF the landlord has accepted partial rent payments for the current amount owed, you may well have a winnable waiver argument. IF there is a consistent pattern of accepting partial payment of rent, and he suddenly ceases to do that without any prior warning,... View More

A tenant owes rent for every day they are in possession - and they are in possession until they either restore it to the landlord (usually by returning the keys) or the landlord reasonably knows or should have known that the tenant has abandoned their tenancy. In addition, a tenant owes rent... View More

So much depends upon the exact details, wording of notices, etc. What IS clear is that neither text messages nor email are a legal form of providing Notice to either a landlord or a tenant. It sounds likely that she may owe rent through Jan 11. I am unclear whether she has abandoned her tenancy,... View More

I assume you are on a month to month tenancy though it is unclear what you mean by "he MADE me move units" - you had a lease presumably specifying your rental of that particular unit and where you would presumably be protected from no cause termination notices except for statutorily... View More

IF you believe the tenant(s) have violated the terms of their lease, your remedy is to issue them a 30 day For Cause Termination of Tenancy Notice. It gives them 14 days to "cure" the problem (e.g. throw the "guest" out) or 30 days to get out. If the guest is still there on... View More

One possibility, if the apartment is willing, would be to look into whether their policy would cover the loss. They are likely to have a more comprehensive policy that covers a greater range of losses. However, choosing which route they would use to pursue recovery is something in their hands. Good...

You can be - it depends on your lease. Smart landlord's use a lease that expressly releases a landlord from liability if they are unable to provide the housing when promised.
