It is not the dollar amount so much as where in the state you live and how long you have lived there:

I agree that notice sounds to be inadequate and defective. It would likely be best in the end if you simply responded by telling them they cannot enter under that notice unless and until they provide more specific and detailed notice. They have to provide you a specific notice in advance of each... View More

Yes, 30 days advanced notice (or more) is required to raise the rent. The "missing" details you mention in regards to the rent increase notice are required in residential rentals but not in commercial and storage bin rentals.

The notices may indeed be deficient in terms of how they are worded or in how they were served. You would have to go to trial to assert those defenses if the landlord does not just concede the defectiveness. As for different rent amounts, again, that may or may not invalidate the enforceability... View More

Residential rent in Oregon is apportioned on a daily basis. So a tenant owes rent for everyday they occupy a dwelling or until their tenancy terminates, whichever comes later. So if you only provide 20 days notice, you will still owe an "extra" 10 days rent assuming you do indeed vacate... View More

Certainly - a 72 hr notice is for failure to pay rent and a landlord needs no other justification to terminate your tenancy if it is not paid within that time frame. The Notice must still be properly worded; contain a demand for only rent due (not adding in fees, penalties, late fees, utility... View More

What your lease may say is meaningless - Oregon specifies notice procedures and requirements and cannot be overridden by the lease provisions. Yes, a landlord can issue multiple notices at the same time and can proceed in court under as many of them as they wish, assuming the timeframe for... View More

You have to serve a properly worded, legally served, 30 day For Cause Notice of Termination of her tenancy. It gives her 14 days to "cure" her lease violations (in which case, the tenancy continues) or 30 days to get out. If she does neither, then you must file an eviction suit in... View More

No offense, but nothing in your posting indicates that you have done anything that is legally enforceable against your non-paying tenant. You need to serve her a lawfully worded, lawfully served 72 hour notice to pay the rent owed or to get out. If she does neither within that specified 72 hours... View More

Potentially you are owed back wages and penalties. A close examination though of the agreements is needed to figure out the amounts, as it is unclear if your work and tenancy were connected and thus she could withhold as part of the rent.

Speaking for most attorneys, we would not want to answer a question that requires the interpretation of a document that we haven't had a chance to read completely. So you are going to have to meet with an attorney and show them the lease and explain all the external happenings that are going... View More

A written lease is not required. So you owe the 5 days rent, assuming you otherwise provided at least 30 days written notice of terminating your tenancy (assuming you are on a month to month tenancy - which if it is only an oral rental agreement, it has to be a month to month tenancy). If you did... View More

You can certainly try to persuade the landlord but in the end, he is free to set the rent at any price he wishes and you either pay it or don't move into it. Ironically, he may have upped the rent some precisely because he thought you really wanted it and thus would pay more to get it. Good luck.

You haven't asked a question here so it is impossible to know what you want answered. It also is very unclear when you say your landlord filed a restraining order against you but that your eviction notice is in both your names. The landlord put his own name on his own eviction notice? It... View More

Yes, if you did not give them at least 30 days written notice of when you were vacating. Their 60 day notice was NOT a notice for you to move out anytime up to the 60 days; it was a notice to move out or have your tenancy terminated on day 60. If you wanted to vacate sooner than that you needed... View More

The tenants are presumably liable for damages beyond ordinary wear and tear. You do not even have to have the damages repaired in order to be able to charge them (first, presumably, from their security deposit and bill them for amounts over that). If you do have repairs made, yes you can charge... View More

You are quite correct - there is a specific statute that says rent is pro-rated daily, though there at least 3 different formulas that a landlord can use in determining the actual amount of the daily pro-rated rent. You may want to pay the whole month, per the landlords demand and see what... View More

I suppose it depends in part on why the stove is smoking. If it truly is an imminent fire danger, call the Beaverton Fire Marshall's office and ask for an inspection. They have the power, if they believe it warranted, to tag your dwelling and require the landlord immediately fixes it or be... View More

Well they may want it but no, until you get at least 90 days advanced written notice, properly served, of a rent increase you are not liable for it. Your choice then will be to either stay and pay the increased amount, starting at least 90 days after being served the written notice or to notify... View More

IF it is a lawful garnishment, then yes, you must remit the funds you otherwise owe the judgment debtor (your landlord?) to the garnishor. If you do not, you can be personally on the hook for the amount you should have submitted in response to the Writ. The Writ is supposed to come with numerous... View More
