A landlord may not raise rent within the first 12 months of a month to month tenancy. After that, they can raise it as frequently, and as high, as they wish so long as they provide at least 90 days prior written notice before the raise becomes effective. If you are within the city limits of... View More

It is not clear from your posting whether there is also a legal landlord-tenant relationship between you and Mom. If there is, you have to legally terminate her tenancy according to proper grounds and with legally minimum notice. If she still does not leave, then you have to file an eviction... View More

As long as the replacement unit provides at least the same basic functions as the original unit being replaced, it is the landlord's choice of brand and model, including replacing with the same as before. Perhaps you can file a reasonable accommodation request for a different machine but then... View More

I don't do landlord tenant law so I can's answer the question about whether you can be evicted or not. (If your name is on the lease I think your relationship is with the landlord who is leasing the property, and your boy friend isn't the landlord - he is just also on the lease.... View More

I am not clear about your situation but if you've been given a 90 day no cause termination of tenancy notice, you must be on (or will be by then) a month to month tenancy. If true, there IS no early termination penalty. If you want to vacate sooner, though, like any other time a tenant ends a... View More

The damage was done, so at some point it either has to be repaired or the property is worth less due to the damage. Honestly, to hire a contractor to fix it might cost more than $300.

You need to review everything in detail with a landlord-tenant attorney right away. If they truly broke in and stole property, you may also want to file a police report though don't be too surprised if the police don't do anything much about it. Good luck.

If no refund or accounting was sent to you within 31 days of your restoring possession to the landlord, you are entitled to recover twice the amount not refunded or accounted for, not just the $660 that was eventually refunded. The landlord can still deduct valid damages from the doubled amount... View More

Assuming it is otherwise valid, the 72 Hr Notice likely is enforceable. First, since it is only verbal, you may well have a proof problem in court (you think the manager is likely to testify in your favor and against his boss and risk his job?). Second, even if you convince the Judge, the... View More

The 90 Day No Cause Termination and Relocation Assistance requirements apply to dwellings within the city limits of Portland, not state-wide. Yes, I know of no reason that a landlord cannot rescind a termination of tenancy notice at any time prior to its effective date, at least up until when you... View More

"Vacation rentals" are specifically excluded from being covered by Oregon's Residential Landlord Tenant Act ("ORLTA"), so those requirements applying to tenancies are moot as long as it is a true vacation occupancy. "Vacation Occupancy" of a dwelling unit (not... View More

They can file an eviction action in court anytime from the 16th on. But your first appearance in court would be no less than 7 days and no more than 14 days from when they file. As long as you both are out by the date of the first appearance AND you timely show up in court, any eviction should be... View More

The only question here (assuming your posting is accurate of course) is what you want to do. You are absolutely correct, the landlord cannot "amend" the no cause notice without giving you at least 60 days notice from the date it is served. But why oh why are you telling the landlord... View More

Why would you want to? It is the landlord's duty and obligation to know and comply or be subject to the consequences. IF they do not pay you (AND are obligated to - i.e. the landlord is not exempt from having to pay the relocation assistance) at least 45 days prior to the termination date in... View More

Absolutely - all Oregon Landlord-Tenant laws apply to you and your tenant. If you are in the city limits of Portland, you may have additional obligations and time/notice requirements. For example, you don't say what sort of 30 day notice you are referring to but if it is a 30 No Cause... View More

Landlord is correct if you both signed the same lease, either of you withdrawing terminates it unless the landlord specifically agrees to amend it. The remaining person can enter a new rental agreement if both he and landlord wish but original lease is terminated by withdrawal of any co-tenant.

This isn't something that can be figured out on line. You will need to talk to an attorney and your action will either be against this landlord if he survives or his estate. It is probably going to be very messy. If he dies you will have to make a claim against his estate and get in line... View More

Everything depends upon the exact details. If the tenants are currently late on rent, a 72 hr notice is appropriate. If past rent has been late but now paid, a 72 hr notice is no longer appropriate though a 30 day for cause might be. The other, non-rent related violations are subject to either a... View More

You can always serve multiple notices at the same or overlapping times. That said, assuming your 30 day for cause was valid, and they did not fully cure the defaults, why would you serve a new notice instead of just proceed to evict under the existing but not fully complied with notice? You may... View More

Yes. You are obligated to pay rent for every day you are in possession of the dwelling or until your tenancy ends, whichever is last.
