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

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

Your post is confusing because you talk about inheriting property then switch to talking about something being torn down at the "buyers" expense. So somehow there are two pieces of property and a Well on one property and the adjacent property has "well rights" of some sort.... View More

I am not sure what your legal question is. The appraisal at a given point in time has nothing to do with the value at any other point it time. An appraiser is supposed to give you their professional opinion of a value of real estate on a certain date. You can always testify and give your opinion... View More

Assuming your rental is in Oregon, much depends upon the exact language of your lease. Yes, it is likely (but not guaranteed without a complete review of the lease and all the surrounding facts) that you can terminate all occupants tenancy with a 90 day no cause notice (are you exempt from paying...

I think you are concerned that you will be evicted. Have you considered that the buyer is willing to buy the property and continue renting it to you? Sometimes people that invest in real estate, like apartments or shopping centers, realize that the property is more valuable to a buyer looking for... View More

IF you are within the city limits of Portland, you can serve a 90 day no cause termination of tenancy notice on one or both. His verbal 30 day notice is unenforceable unless he puts it in writing. As to grounds for a for cause termination of tenancy, you may have grounds to issue a 30 day for... View More

You are going to have to go talk to an attorney to sort this out. It is quite possible that not all property is subject to the Will and the Trust. Just because someone dies with a Will and a Trust doesn't mean that all their property is going to be governed by the terms of the Will and the... View More

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

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

Your exact status is unclear - are you actually already out? Is it just pending? Did you leave on your own, pursuant to a notice, or as result of a court order? Your options vary depending upon the answers to the above but likely you have few options and, if not resolved very soon, you can end... View More

Your question doesn't make sense. What do you mean by "homestead" you mobile home? If you are talking about the homestead exemption for bankruptcy, pretty much anything you use as your primary residence could potentially get the homestead exemption. You would need to talk to your... View More

Your question is a landlord tenant question so you really need to go and talk to a lawyer that specializes in landlord tenant law and it is extremely wise to pay a lawyer to do all the proper notices for you to get your tenant to move out. A better idea might be to come to an agreement where you... View More

This is not a general real estate law question. It is a landlord tenant law question. Try reposting this as a landlord tenant law question. There are also a lot of articles on the internet about this new Portland Law, so you can google the topic and read the articles you find. Be aware that... View More

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

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

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

He can try but you ultimately get to decide who can be in your house. This assumes that your grandson is not a "renter" as defined by Oregon's landlord tenant law. I don't do landlord tenant law so if you might want to consult with a landlord tenant lawyer to see if your... View More

Yes, your landlord is correct that you would be required to provide 30 day notice if you intended to vacate prior to the 60 day notice date that he served you. He told you to be out on that specific date, NOT to be out anytime up until that date. If you wanted to be out earlier, you owed him at... View More
