Potentially. Property owners use agents such as property managers all of the time and vest in those people the power to evict.

Your best solution is to get bids to fix the problems. Adding soffits and vent fans is not extremely expensive. Oregon has statutes of limitation which prevent lawsuits after certain time periods and while there are many different time periods the statute of ultimate repose, which is the end all... View More

You could file an action in the court for a declaratory judgment that declares that the obligation is paid in full or you can pay her the lien amount when the property sells. A lien holder can't prevent a sale if the amount of their lien is being tendered to them. You may have to file in... View More

This is a landlord tenant law question, not a general real estate law question. Try reposting it as a landlord tenant question. Or better yet, just make an appointment to talk to a landlord tenant lawyer. Just from your brief summary I suspect that the landlord has violated Oregon Landlord... View More

If you neither own the property nor are the primary person on the lease, the person who has the right to occupy the property, the boyfriend who rented the place, can decide who can live there. As long as he gives you proper notice under the landlord tenant law, you may just have to move. I... View More

No, you would still need to go through all the statutory requirements, obtain a court Order, etc. Any provisions to the contrary in a lease or other agreement would simply be unenforceable at best and possibily render the landlord liable for damages if he/she knowingly put unlawful provisions in...

This is not the type of question that an attorney would feel comfortable answering based on a little bit of information given over the internet from an anonymous source. You really need to make an appointment to talk to an attorney and explain the circumstances surrounding how you and your... View More

The first thing to find out is whether the house really was foreclosed and to confirm the current owner. You may want to approach the current owner and inquire about renting/renting to own/buying the home if you are interested. The danger, of course, is you will be calling their attention to the...

Hire an attorney who knows the laws of civil procedure. If you are on the internet asking these type of questions you need professional help. And no, no Attorney can answer this by reading only your description. An attorney is going to want to review all the pleadings and talk to you. You... View More

Have no clue what exactly is going on here from your rather sparse description. Please go and consult with an attorney and discuss all the details in a private office conference. You might want to call the Oregon State Bar for a name on their Lawyer Referral List and you will get a short... View More

You are going to have to make an appointment to talk to an attorney and go over all the details in that consultation. What you have written doesn't give enough information for an attorney to assess the legal issues and this forum is not meant to be a consultation with an attorney, there is no... View More

First of all - you should always to a title report before entering into any contract to buy real estate whether it is straight out, on contract, or lease with an option to buy. You may have messed up by not taking these steps. But if you haven't run a title report yet, call a title company... View More

Yes, they can pick and choose. The likely reason is that if you almost make it, then you are more likely to not get behind on your rent. But, if you are further down, then odds are higher they have to go to the co-signer, which is not exactly guaranteed to get them their money.

Subleasing a property in which one is a tenant is ok as long as the landlord permits it. If the principal lease agreement forbids it without prior approval of the landlord, the tenant risks being declared in default under his lease terms, if the landlord doesn't like it, (subject to any notice...

If a lender is foolish enough to make a loan to only one of two owners of the property, it is ok. Your great aunt committed forgery and fraud if she signed your grandmother's name to a deed without your grandmother's consent or knowledge. If there is a lien against only one party's... View More

Whether you are legally bound to finish the sale of your house may depend on what exactly you put on the escrow agreement as a condition of sale when you accepted the buyer's offer. You are saying that your wished to have a condition that would stop the sale if your other sale didn't got... View More

I am assuming the real question is if there is a valid sublease, and the answer is likely yes. Assuming the property manager has apparent or actual authority to the sublet tenant, then it would be valid. Now, the owner could certainly go after the property manager if they did not want the sublet,... View More

If you had given 30 days notice yourself to be out by 8/1, then yes.

You might negotiate with the landlord though and see if they will let you out sooner for a refund of the rent, as they might want to get you out sooner to be able to get to work on preparing it for the next tenant.

Not really clear as to what is going on here. I am guessing you signed a listing agreement with a real estate agent. Also this in in Vancouver so Washington Law would apply, which I can't help you with Washington law specifically since I only practice law in Oregon. But generally speaking,... View More

You posted this question to Oregon Lawyers as in the State of Oregon. Try posting it again so it gets sent to lawyers in Wisconsin. Also, speaking generally as a lawyer (in Oregon), it sounds like the type of problem you really need to discuss face to face with a lawyer in an office. Justia is... View More
