If you are a competent adult, it is unlikely any such claim will be successful on the merits and it may be barred by the statute of limitations.
You should consult an attorney who practices in the area of legal malpractice in or near the county where your suit against your landlord occurred.

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for several weeks. At this point, you may have resolved the issue. But if not, an option is to reach out to a landlord-tenant attorney - that is one of the categories on this forum, although it wasn't selected for this post.... View More

Too much shorthand and not enough detail. Not clear what you're asking. Written notice is required to terminate a tenancy. It must contain all the legally required information and be lawfully served. If the dwelling is within Portland city limits, 90 days advanced notice is generally required... View More

Are we entitled to any relocation help?
answered on Jun 20, 2023
You are entitled to be shown proof of the acceptance of an offer to sell and certification by the buyer that they intend to occupy the dwelling as their primary residence. You may be entitled to relocation assistance if the landlord owns more than 4 rental units in Oregon.
I've lived here 3 years pay rent in time have nowere to go or put my things I was homeless 7 years before this and now I am hiding in room scared him and son are threatening me

First, only a landlord can terminate a tenancy - your roommate has no more right to end it than you do to end his. Second, a landlord can only terminate your tenancy with written notice. How much written notice depends on the reason. If for cause, such as failure to pay rent or breach of lease, it... View More
In Oklahoma I was behind one month rent and the landlord hung a motion to vacate on the door. In the time being I was still staying at the home while looking for another home. Since I received a motion to vacate am I still responsible to pay rent for the 30 days I was still there after receiving... View More

You need to post this in the Oklahoma, not Oregon, section. It's highly unlikely that it was a "motion to vacate" and at least in Oregon a tenant owes rent for every day they are actually in possession. They may owe more if, for example, they get out without giving 30 days notice... View More

One year fixed
I'm wanting to post this notice within the next week, does the time frame allow me to do that?
answered on Apr 2, 2023
If you have a fixed term lease, you can only terminate it during the lease terms for cause.

It means that some sort of Judgement was entered by the court in a case in which you are listed as a party. If you want to know more, you need to either access the court computerized records or talk with a clerk at the court where it was entered.

Not accept any rent for time after termination notice expiration date and file to evict in court.
I was initially the manager here until apt.'s 1st sold, under second owner since then. Have raised rent regularly also. With recent one just received today.
answered on Feb 19, 2023
There's not enough information to say. The lease has to have some specific information and adequate notice provided. Plus Oregon's rent cap still applies. Consider reviewing everything with a local landlord-tenant attorney if you want to know for sure.

I am not seeing much of a question here so it is difficult to know how to respond. IF your question is can the landlord and now ex-tenant talk about you between themselves, the answer is of course - you have no right to control who someone talks to or what they talk about. If you believe they are... View More

Asking the same question multiple times doesn't change the answer. The rental assistance protections you likely are thinking of was a COVID emergency program that expired last September and is no longer in effect.

A landlord can always dismiss the case in court. A tenant can always try to negotiate a settlement agreement but they cannot force it.
She new of this problem 3 years ago.
My question is can a rental assistance company blame me for the landlord refusing to accept payment and now say I'm no longer approved and my case has been closed.
answered on Oct 28, 2022
Blame you? Not likely. But close your application and deny payment on it? Sure. If the landlord will not accept the payment, what else are they to do?
