you can always petition or sue for anything.......whether you can get a lawyer to take the case on a contingency AND collect anything is another story.

i would think contacting the owner of the establishment would make the most sense.

Yes, there are special legislative restrictions on terminating tenancies at least until July 1st. Even thereafter, you can only terminate a tenancy either for cause or without cause - and if without cause, it must still be for a permitted reason. The financial penalties to a landlord who makes...

Your manager is correct about you being obligated to move out once you give written notice - he does not have to let you change your mind about either the date or if you are going to leave. He is wrong however about you having to pay any penalty before being able to leave. Make no mistake - you... View More

Yes. The Pennsylvania Governor's Order didn't affect a landlord's right to terminate a monthly lease or have a tenant evicted for any reason other than non-payment of rent. It also required that a non-paying tenant provide certain statements concerning the tenant's non-payment of ren

It depends on what your lease says about the amenities. Typically, amenities are not included in the lease and would have no bearing on your rent. You can ask your landlord about this and see what their position is.

An owner can always sell property, even if leased to a tenant. But the buyer must honor the lease for the remainder of the lease term. The lease does not end when the property is sold, and so long as the tenant is not currently in default or does not breach the lease, there is no grounds for an... View More

No. Land Contracts are not leases and occupants under a land contract are purchasers, not tenants. In either case, during the pandemic, the court dockets have long delays, so if you can work out a settlement with the other party to resolve your issues, it will benefit both sides.

Based on rights, you have a right to stay as long as contracted, and Landlord is has the right to do business with whomever he pleases. If he accepts payment for a new month, he must let you stay for that new month. Some landlords will change their plans if you give them an extra month's rent... View More

You don't say where you are in Oregon or if you are on a month to month tenancy or a fixed-term lease. You also don't say why there is a landlord-tenant relationship if you are not paying any rent. Regardless, the only way to know anything meaningful is for you to take everything to a... View More

If you are no longer a minor, your parents do not have to continue to allow you to reside in their home. However, like any other landlord, there are appropriate legal steps that must be taken before you can be evicted from the property. These legal proceedings generally take many months and as a...

The first place to start is your lease agreement. Some leases have provisions that allow landlords access for showings within a certain number of days from the end of the lease. But if your lease does not permit showings or access for this purpose, then you do not need to permit the showings.... View More

Yes. There are specific criteria and a process to be completed to prevent eviction during COVID-19. And unless the tenant qualifies, evictions can still happen.

Sure - anything (more or less) that you and the tenants can agree to is likely to work - bribery has long proven an effective way to accomplish some goals. BUT if you are the buyer, with all due respect, you are crazy if you don't make the seller getting the tenants out (instead of you) as a... View More

You appear to be just racking up potential violations that may come back to haunt you. You don't say what the existing/now expired lease provides regarding renewal but within the City of Portland, a landlord is required to offer a renewal lease unless you meet specific criteria. And in all... View More

You have made a mistake. Hire a competent attorney to file an eviction action for possession only today. You are only loosing rent monies dealing with the tenant in this fashion.

The likelihood to force anyone to do anything these days is slim to none. You may be able to file a formal complaint against the landlord with the Office of the Virginia Attorney General in Richmond, VA.

Selling a property is not a reason to terminate a lease unless there is a specific provision in the lease agreement, so I don't believe you have to leave. If you want to leave early, it sounds like the landlord is willing to agree to a release and maybe even pay you to leave, but if you want... View More

Yes, even with the current Covid restrictions, a landlord can sell the rental dwelling if they jump through all the correct hoops. You must first have accepted an offer to buy the property and have the buyer certify that they intend to occupy the property as their primary residence. Then, you... View More

No, part of the Covid moratorium laws re landlord-tenant specify that a tenant's declaration regarding inability to pay rent cannot be challenged in court. But it does sound as if you may have grounds for issuing for cause termination notices - and they are not prohibited during Covid (except... View More

Yes. There was a time under the Covid restrictions when all no-cause terminations were prohibited but no longer. Further, at the moment at least, almost all Covid moratorium restrictions re landlord-tenant law in Oregon are scheduled to expire as of the end of June. Depending upon the details of... View More
