Your posting raises several potential issues, some of which require further information before being able to be answered, most notably whether you can terminate the tenant's tenancy under the new State law. Some of your questions though are quite answerable. First, the tenant owes rent for... View More

If you defaulted on the claim then your options are very limited. You will need to try and set aside the judgment but this is done somewhat rarely. You will not be able to do it without an attorney, and then you are facing a situation where it would very likely cost more to set aside the judgment... View More

Just humor your mother. Pay for the carpet and the padding. You got free rent. Do the right thing. Besides, it probably won't cost you any more then your first trip to talk to an Attorney. And I agree with your mom. If you are going to put in new carpeting you should also change the... View More

The burden of proof will be on you to show that she owes you the money but yes, either small claims or regular court are you options. If you start in small claims court, she will then have the choice to remove it to regular circuit court or to let it stay in small claims court. If you start in... View More

It largely depends upon what the written agreement says and, in the end, what the seller/landlord admits or disputes. The only way to know much is to take everything you have in documentation to an attorney for evaluation and review. Sadly, your feeling pressured and/or having no where else to go... View More

Not entirely certain if you are sub leasing to them, or you are sub leasing from them. If you are sub leasing to them, you are the landlord, and you can sent notices of deficiencies or a for cause eviction if they are violating the lease.

If it is the other way around, review the lease and... View More

Since you are on a month to month tenancy, rules and other changes (except increase in rent) can be made by whomever is the current owner with 30 days advanced notice.

You should contact a landlord-tenant attorney in your area to discuss potential defenses.

It depends - what was the agreement at or before you rendered services? Was the work to be in lieu of paying rent? Was there an hourly wage agreed to or fixed price for the job? Are you licensed by the CCB? All these things may radically affect whether you are able to collect anything for your... View More

This isn't a family law topic. Try reposting this as a debtor creditor topic. Better yet go and talk to a bankruptcy Attorney. They can advise you if you are vulnerable to the collection efforts even if you don't end up filing a bankruptcy.

Since we have no idea what you are talking about there is no way to answer your question. Sorry.

Perhaps but I don't see what claims you would have based just on the facts posted. You may well have a defense if she Sue's you for the rent you say you don't owe and you may or may not have claims against her regarding your security deposit but that would require a careful review... View More

Far more information is needed here or far more is going on. It is true that a creditor does not have to accept anything less than payment in full - but why wouldn't they if there are no strings attached? It sounds as if the landlord has a Money Judgment against you. If so, contempt of... View More

Go get the stuff.Ask friends, family for help. Legally you have an argument to make but your stuff get's taken you don't want to be tied up making arguments--spend the time getting a ride. A cab if you have some money. Free rent that long means she's going to get the sympathy.

First and foremost, do you have this loan in a signed writing? You likely have a few issues to consider. If you are local, you can simply sue him in small claims court - fast, comparatively cheap, and a Judgment is just as enforceable as one from regular circuit court. If you don't, you... View More

If your wife co-signs a loan - for a car or anything else - she can end up having to pay the entire loan, interest, fees, etc. herself. If she is not prepared to pay everything herself, she should not co-sign. If she also is a co-owner and is listed as such on the Title, she would have the legal... View More

Spouses are generally legally liable for necessary medical bills even if they did not sign the agreement at the doctor's office. So yes, it is likely that they can come after you for payment. Calling you at work everyday is a different matter. Depending upon the exact details, that may or... View More

Absolutely - all Oregon Landlord-Tenant laws apply to you and your tenant. If you are in the city limits of Portland, you may have additional obligations and time/notice requirements. For example, you don't say what sort of 30 day notice you are referring to but if it is a 30 No Cause... 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

Nobody can give you a meaningful answer without carefully reviewing the written agreement. Nothing you have posted says you couldn't sue and win but then again, nothing says you will win either. Consider taking it to an attorney for review and advice on how to best proceed now. Good luck.
