As you appear to know, any legal rent increase requires at least 90 days prior written notice, properly served. Additionally, if you are within the Portland city limits, you may be entitled to be paid relocation assistance money if the rent increase is large enough and you elect to move instead of...

I am not quite clear what your status is or what you are asking. If you have a Writ of Execution, you just need to arrange with the Sheriff to have it served and the people removed. After that, you have to follow the requirements of ORS 90.425 as to removing or disposing of all personal property... View More

A crucial issue is whether there is a landlord-tenant relationship and it may not be as simple of a question as you think. IF there is no such relationship, you need to file an ejectment lawsuit in court to get rid of this person. Unfortunately, ejectment suits normally cost more and take longer... View More

Is this person an adult or a minor? Is he there as a "guest" of the person that is on the lease? If rent is 8 days or more behind, you simply serve a legal 72 hr notice on the person on the lease and include the terms "and all others" - e.g. To: John Doe and All Others. It... View More

It is difficult to speculate how a court will rule with any certainty any time and even more so not knowing the exact details or what the other half is being used for. That said, just based upon the information you have posted, I suspect your argument would prevail. It seems likely that you have... View More

This information from the bar should help guide you: https://www.osbar.org/public/legalinfo/1256_GettingRepairsMade.htm

The exact details here are important. When you say you have a verbal contract and nothing in writing as to when rent is due - are you saying there is no written lease agreement at all? Or just that it somehow fails to specify when rent is due? IF there is no written lease agreement, AND the only... View More

If I understand your posting correctly, 2 parties co-signed a fixed term lease. At the end of that lease term, one of the parties vacated, having given notice to the landlord while the second party stayed. Now when second party vacates, you wish to know whether the landlord can charge both... View More

It depends upon your exact situation. It sounds as if you were breaking a fixed-term lease. If so, you either owe a lease break fee as specified in the written lease or you would continue to owe rent until a new tenant assumes liability to pay rent, as long as the landlord makes reasonable...

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

The only way to know if you have a potentially viable case is to review it in detail with a landlord-tenant attorney, going through everything systematically. Good luck.

You are unlikely to be able to postpone the trial. Extra days for mailing are not required if it was both posted and mailed (written lease provides for that?). If partial or all rent paid and not refunded within 10 days you might well have a winning argument but you would be best off having an... View More

As long as the landlord provides at least 24 hours advanced actual notice of their intention to enter, and it is for a reasonable reason and not so frequently as to harass the tenant, certainly. HUD inspects to be sure the dwelling meets basic, minimum standards before they are willing to pay... View More

It could depend upon what the lease itself says about what happens upon expiration if it was a fixed term lease, or perhaps it was a month to month tenancy agreement? Regardless, while I would need to read the lease to be sure, most likely everything simply converted (if it was not already) to a... View More

Usually yes, but if your lease has some sort of landscape maintenance provision that allows them to for that purpose, then they would not if that is why they are there.

A landlord has the right to enter to do repairs and to inspect but not the right to enter so frequently as to harass the tenant or interfere with their right to quiet enjoyment of their tenancy. So ultimately this would be a judgment call and while admittedly it may be approaching the... View More

Absolutely not - a tenant can give written notice any day they wish and rent must be pro-rated on a daily basis when the tenancy terminates, regardless of what a lease says. Tell daughter to date, sign, and serve her notice, keeping a copy and noting the date/time she hands it to the landlord.... View More

You can informally talk to the tenants anytime to see what is going on. That said, if you want to enforce things, you can serve a 72 hour notice anytime after rent is a full 7 days late. There are specific requirements as to what information must be included in the 72 hr. notice, and it must be... View More

You are free to sell and buyer just becomes new landlord for the balance of the lease-term.

Well the good news is that they have no choice about accommodating "special requests". Yes, they can enter when you are not home as long as they have provided you with at least 24 hours advanced notice of their intent to do so. However, they do not get to dictate and a tenant is free to... View More
