Certainly you can rescind a 90 day notice and issue a 60 day one instead. I would mark the new notice as being "Amended Notice of No Cause Termination of Tenancy" and go from there. It still, of course, must contain all the required information and be lawfully served. I also would be... View More

Your landlord is obligated to maintain your dwelling unit in reasonable repair and sometimes that requires a vacant unit. You likely could terminate your tenancy and move elsewhere on your own (depending upon the exact details, your lease terms, etc.) or the landlord can put you up during the... View More

IF your residential rental dwelling is located within the city limits of Milwaukie, and not just have a Milwaukie mailing address but are outside the actual city limits, then yes, at least 90 days prior written notice (NOT just email, verbal, text message, etc.) has to be lawfully served to a...

It is not clear what document you were served. IF it was a Summons and Complaint on a court eviction lawsuit, it will contain a date/time of when you need to appear in court. If you fail to do so, you will likely be summarily evicted regardless of whether you have a good reason not to be, so look... View More

It all depends upon exactly what the communications between you say. IF you are on a term lease, and you break it early, you are potentially liable for damages unless the landlord agrees to not hold you liable. He can simply agree to that; he can agree to not hold you liable as long as you... View More

Sorry to hear about your situation, but attorneys cannot solicit your business. Search for a landlord-tenant attorney in your area (there are lots of directories), focusing on those that mainly assist tenants. Once you narrow it done to a few, check for reviews online to ensure a good fit, and... View More

Yes, a landlord is required to provide hot and cold running water and to repair/maintain such facilities. A furnace per se is not required but a landlord is required to provide an adequate source of heat in the dwelling. Electric heaters, space heaters, even wood burning stoves, but some form of...

Since it is on a month to month, arguably 30 days unless the circumstances are such that it is considered to be a raise in rent - then 90 days written notice. Do note though that depending upon the details, such as whether the tenant is potentially paying for utility use that benefits others... View More

I would suggest finding a landlord-tenant attorney in your area to discuss. It sounds like there was an unlawful entry that he admits to via text, which could be worth a month's rent. Plus, attorneys will often take these cases on a contingency basis, meaning you pay the attorney only if you... View More

Sad to say, you have no more right to evict a roommate than they do to evict you. Only the landlord has that right. Either you or the roommate can terminate your tenancy (usually by providing proper notice or even by breaking tour lease early, which can prove expensive) but if the roommate... View More

Ask? Certainly. Compel? Unlikely. Depending upon the exact facts, you may or may not have grounds to terminate your lease and you definitely need to maintain complaints to the landlord. You may also want to consider seeking a restraining order against the neighbor. If you qualify, even on a... View More

While everything depends upon the exact details, in general, he did not give you adequate notice and you likely would have prevailed if he took you to court to evict you. But if you moved out, despite not getting legally adequate notice, you likely have no claim against the landlord since you were... View More

Then use the find a lawyer link above to search for one in your area. Attorney's cannot contact you in this forum, you have to contact them. More importantly, the link will help you locate one in your area, as this is a state-wide forum.

They likely cannot, but note that if you are on a month-to-month lease, they could then require a new lease that has that provision with proper notice.

Normally whomever built or owns the fence is responsible for maintaining it. Since it is on the Park's land, which the tenant rents, the Park would be responsible to maintain the fences unless the lease re-assigns that obligation to the tenant. So check the lease to be sure.

Try looking for a landlord tenant attorney specifically to answer this question. I don't do landlord tenant law.

Whether such a notice is legal and enforceable depends upon many factors. IF you are on a month to month tenancy; been there less than a year; and do not reside within the city limits of either Portland or Milwaukie, it may be lawful and enforceable if the notice was properly drafted and properly...

It depends upon why he was banned. Landlord's cannot prohibit companion animals as a practice or charge extra rent or extra security deposits because of them. They do not, however, have to allow specific animals IF that animal has a particular history or behavioral issues that render it... View More

If it is not in Portland, and on a month to month (after the year you note), then it is 60 days. See ORS 90.427.

Retaliation is prohibited, but unfortunately it does happen. If you are concerned there will be an issue, best to wait.
