Since Covid-19 is a pandemic around the world right now and I have lost money only working part time,can he do this? I feel he’s using it as an excuse since I have been unable to pay the fines from HOA? Since there’s no place to go in Oregon as far as rental goes??

IF it is a 90 day notice, for doing renovations, it is a no cause notice and if it was served to you anytime in April, it is both unlawful and unenforceable. No such notice can be given between April 1st and June 20, with the ending date being subject to change as the pandemic becomes clearer.... View More 
How do I get him to leave.
answered on Apr 17, 2020
The simple answer is you don't. First, who does he pay his rent to? You or the landlord directly? If to the landlord, it is between him and the landlord. If to you, you may legally be his landlord - with all the duties and obligations of any landlord. Next, only a landlord can seek to... View More
I’m asking primarily because of covid-19 and we have been sick (untested).

Sure they can as long as they give you at least 24 hrs advanced notice before entering. You, however, are also free to say "no, please do not enter" and they have to respect that. Any tenant can always refuse entry to a landlord (or anyone else except police with a warrant) by simply... View More

At the moment, the courts are essentially closed for civil cases until at least April 30th, subject to extension. The Governor has prohibited law enforcement from evicting anyone for non-payment of rent or without cause until at least June 20, 2020. You say your agreement to move out is based... View More

Landlords are not required to state a reason for entry when giving 24 hr. notice. You are not required to allow them entry so long as you are not unreasonable in denying it to them. I do not believe any Judge would consider it unreasonable to deny non-emergency entry during the Covid-19 pandemic.... View More

First, a landlord is NOT exempt from paying relocation assistance unless and until he obtains an exemption letter from the Portland Housing Bureau and serves you a copy of it with whatever termination notice he thinks appropriate. Second, IF the rental dwelling is within the City of Portland... View More
I was told that evictions on or after April 1, 2020 for no cause are unenforceable. The date of service on the form is the 31st of March but the notice was mailed only.
Is the 31st the applicable date or is it the 4 days after since it was only mailed? I'm trying to figure out if... View More

Things that require written notice, such as no-cause termination notices, are technically served on the day they are mailed and the compliance date is extended the 4 days (including day of mailing). That means the landlord likely avoided violating the Governor's moratorium order and thus is... View More
Tenant has been on month-to-month lease and gave appropriate 30 day notice in beginning of March to end lease at the end of March. She did not inform me that she intended to stay past April 1st, but has not left the home as of April 7th. She will not reply to any correspondence (email, call, text).... View More

There is little you can do until the Covid 19 crisis is declared to be over. The courts are essentially closed, at least until April 30 and the Governor has suspended most landlord-tenant actions until June 20th. After that whether you can enforce termination notices that occurred during the... View More

There are many potential issues here. First, if Grandma owns the property, only Grandma or her appointed agent has the authority to have someone removed. If she has dementia, that could be a problem in court unless someone else has her POA or is a guardian or conservator for her. The next... View More
