If a tenant has followed protocol and given a written 30 day notice to vacate a month to month lease contract can they revoke that notice or do they legally have to vacate unless the landlord allows them to stay?
If either side - tenant or landlord - issues a notice of termination, they have no legal right to rescind the notice without the permission of the opposing party. So no, if a tenant gives a written 30 day termination notice, the landlord may rely upon it and enforce it if the tenant fails to leave... Read more »
Also my financial records going back 2 months. What the hell
An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. It's difficult to speculate what could have caused the insurance company's change in position without knowing additional details. Whatever the reason, something raised the suspicion of the claims examiner.... Read more »
Depends upon the exact details. Perhaps under ORS 90.403 you could evict her as an unauthorized possessor. If your exact facts don't allow that, you may have to file to eject her instead of evicting her. Regardless, neither are do-it-yourself sort of projects and can prove to be very... Read more »

Depending upon the exact details, it may be a violation of Oregon's Unfair Debt Collection Practices Act to demand payment of a debt that is not yet due.
What if the 3rd Roomate doesn’t want to move out? Can we give notice and remove ourselves from the lease? Or are we responsible for the rent until a new Roomate is found?
If all 3 of you are on the same lease, any of you can issue the required 30 day termination of tenancy notice. Doing so will legally terminate the lease for all 3, though #3 can always talk with the landlord to see if they can enter into a new rental agreement, with or without new, replacement... Read more »
I just started as a property manager at my company in August of 2020. My predecessor was bad at sending out renewals on time to fixed term tenants. I have a tenant that's lease expired 10/31/20 and they asked me about it on 10/21/20. Seeing that a renewal was not sent I generated one and sent... Read more »
Sure, you can enter into a new lease anytime that both sides/parties agree. That said, no, you cannot lawfully raise rent without at least 90 days advanced written notice. There is no reason, however, the new lease cannot provide for the old rent until 90 days have passed and then have the rent... Read more »
I received an email from my landlord saying I had 14 days to cure, and that on day 14 they would be doing an inspection. Is this legal? Or do they have to give it to me in person? They cited Covid as the reason for email instead of in person.
Covid does not change a landlord's obligations - serving solely by email (or text for that matter) is not a lawful way to serve a 30 day for cause termination notice and any attempt to enforce the Notice is likely to fail in court. As to whether it also is a valid method of notifying you of... Read more »
An Oregon attorney could answer best, but your post remains open for three weeks.

Assets <$10,000 but credit card debt alone greatly exceeds that. Also a pension balance has a beneficiary.
If your sister-in-law's debts exceed her assets then her estate is insolvent. It's common for family to not want to file an insolvent probate since there often isn't anything in it for them. Your sister-in-law's assets may eventually be sent to the Department of State Lands... Read more »

Since you were hit by a cop in the state of Oregon, tort claim notice will need to be received by the employer and/or city/county/state attorney of the cop who hit you within 180 days. The hearing for the ticket will be important, as the judge will be determining weather or not you were at fault... Read more »
16 years later.when the executor learns that the probate lawyer assisted the other sibling in stealing it all
If you have a complaint against an Oregon attorney you could contact the Oregon State Bar. Yes, probates can be reopened if necessary. You might want to pay a probate attorney for an hour of time to review the facts in your case to determine what next steps you should take.
I had my home broken into repeatedly in my car stolen from the parking lot and now they’ve served me with addiction notice because I’m a victim again how is that fair ? I did file online a formal complaint with the housing and urban development and they called me to see if it’s their... Read more »
An Oregon attorney could advise best, but you await a response for three weeks. Do you mean an EVICTION notice? Read it more carefully. If that's the case, repost this under Landlord-Tenant law and hopefully an experienced L-T attorney could offer meaningful guidance. Good luck

There is no expectations or pain contracts set in place therefore I was unaware of the rules
Regarding the question as to whether false documentation on a medical record is something to pursue, the short answer is yes. You should always point out something inaccurate in your medical records if you notice it. It's just good practice and could protect you from harm, such as if the... Read more »

The officer called me over a week past my court date I appeared at and she did not, nor did she file charges. Is it legal for her to re cite me now?
Because a DUI is a crime and not a violation, the local prosecutor (not the officer) actually files the charge with the court. The process involves the police turning their citation, reports, and other case info over to the prosecutor’s office to make their charging decision.
This process... Read more »

Tread VERY carefully or you may well end up owing the tenant damages. A 72 hour notice is for failure to pay rent and currently is unlawful to issue - even technically criminal to do so. You may NOT shut off utilities or take any other action to "encourage" a tenant to move and mold... Read more »
My wife and I are trying to move from Oregon to Arizona. We met with her ex (non custodial) parent and he agreed upon a parenting plan but he will only sign if child support is cut in half.
No. Extortion is a crime that usually involves a threat of physical harm. You have a dispute about child support.
Oregon’s Uniform Child Support Guidelines contain a formula that takes into account the parties’ gross income, the parties’ parenting plan (the overnights), childcare... Read more »

I'm very sorry for your losses. I recommend you hire a probate attorney. If the house is in Oregon it's likely there needs to be a probate on at least your mom's estate. It's possible for your brother to sign a Disclaimer. If he has no children, that should give his share of... Read more »

I hope that your daughter is doing well. Getting dental care at a young age is important and you want her to have a positive experience. This is a tough issue, because a child (as a patient) cannot legally consent to treatment. You, as the parent, are in control of what is consented to and what is... Read more »

A landlord does not need to provide appliances at all to a tenant. But if they elect to do so, then they are obligated to maintain, fix, repair or otherwise continue to provide the same or better level of service to the tenant throughout the tenancy. So your landlord is free to remove the washing... Read more »
