Can they make us leave without a court order?
The landlord has to lawfully serve you at least 90 days prior written (NOT text, email, verbal, etc) notice that they are terminating your tenancy. If it is legal and you don't restore possession to the landlord by the specified date, then they can seek a court order evicting you. If you are... Read more »
I live in an Oregon apartment (Washington County) and pay my rent on time every month. My lease ends on March 31st but I haven’t heard anything from our property manager about renewing, expiring, being terminated—nothing.
I sent a dated note with my most recent rent check (which was... Read more »
A fixed term lease that expires and has not been either renewed or timely terminated automatically rolls over into being a month to month rentals agreement. If you are within the Portland city limits, additional rules may apply and a new, fixed term lease might be required. Tenants always owe rent... Read more »
I’ve been living in for 2 1/2 years with my 14 year old daughter. Last month I reported to the landlord of the leaks in the bathroom. As a retaliation he wants to sell the home. I am currently on Noha who pays my rent.
While prohibited for a while during the pandemic, currently landlord's are allowed to give a tenant a 90 day written notice terminating their tenancy if they sell the dwelling to a buyer who intends to occupy it as their primary residence. They cannot issue the notice until they have accepted... Read more »
For example, what is the duration of a patent 10640679
Patent term is more confusing than it should be. The one part that is simple, is that patent term is not a function of the technology. There is not a way for the applicant to apply to extend the patent term (unlike trademarks or copyrights). (but as noted below, there are things that can shorten... Read more »
Person drive way.i want to get it home but they don't want to let it go.its a money thing.it is in his name.what are the rules?
If the car is in your husband's name then he is in control of deciding where it should be stored. If your husband signed a Power of Attorney then the person named as Agent could also decide about the car. The only other way to control your husband's assets is to have a Conservator... Read more »
His mirror broke off on my hip and threw me off my bike. He or she didnt stop. I went to the hospital but nothing was broken. Just severely bruised.
Assuming the driver of the vehicle that hit you was at-fault for the accident, you can sue if you find the person within the statute of limitations with enough time to get a lawsuit filed. If the incident happened in Oregon, your case must be filed or settled within 2 years.
If you have... Read more »
Current owner has served them a 90 day termination notice. Our realtor is saying that at the 90 day mark they can be removed by the sheriff if they haven’t voluntarily left yet. Is this true? Or would we have to wait the 90 days and then the current owner file for eviction proceedings?
I hope your realtor knows more about real estate than he does about landlord-tenant law. IF the current owner served a lawfully worded 90 day Notice, and lawfully served it, and the tenants don't leave, then the current owner will have to go to court to evict them - and that could take awhile...

I always knew it to be after the 5th of the month, however my new landlord sent a mailing stating due on the 1st on late after the 4th. So I decided to research to see if that changed and I am getting confusing answers. Both Nola and Oregon State Bar states it is after 4 days after rent becomes... Read more »
IF your written rental agreement provides for it (and it will specify when rent is late), a landlord can charge the late no sooner than the 5th day after it is due. So if rent is due on the first, with the statutory grace period of 4 days, rent is late and subject to a late fee on the 5th. Many... Read more »

See a local landlord-tenant attorney. It likely was unlawful to serve you a no cause termination notice for renovating the dwelling and you may be entitled to recover damages. Was insurance specified as being required in your lease? If not, it may also be unlawful, plus all you should need at... Read more »
Our story is a little long, but our landlord told us we have 90 days to move through a text on the day they listed the house we're renting for sale. As a side note, we've lived here for approx. 3.5 years and have always paid our rent on time.
The second question has to do with the... Read more »
First, no termination of tenancy notice can lawfully be served by text or email; ONLY by personally handing the written notice (containing all the required information) to a tenant; by mailing it regular first class mail (NOT Certified) and adding on an extra 4 days, including the day of mailing;...

The home has no mortgage. I have a child. We all live in the home. We were in a long-term relationship but aren't anymore. He wants his new girlfriend and her son to move in
I assume you own the home as tenants in common. Any owner has the right to invite others to occupy the unit, so either of you can. If you can't even agree on co-occupants, perhaps being co-owners was not the wisest choice.

You would be looking to file a nuisance claim against the estate of the owner of the property. I would suggest you start by getting active by speaking with your representative on the town council.

The document was drafted by a lawyer. The document only states " Landlord" in the notice and does not specifically state my landlord's legal name. I have a verbal agreement with my landlord to rent from him. Could I challenge the notice if the landlord's legal name is not mentioned?
Challenge? Sure. Win? Not likely.
My brother declined to be per rep and trustee to my fathers estate. Are there any parties that excluded from taking his place?
It sounds like your father had a Revocable Living Trust. If your brother is named as Successor Trustee but has declined to do this job then your father's Trust likely names the next person who should act as Successor Trustee. If it doesn't name a second person then there should be... Read more »

This is regarding lot space rent in a mobile home park.
My landlord sent out a notice of rent increase, exceeding the allowed 7% per annual legal maximum. In the letter, they stated that we could have a $20 "discount" if:

2. have a current... Read more »
First, the maximum rent increase in 2021 in Oregon is 9.9% - the 7% is the base cap but you have to still add the annual cost of living percentage as determined by the Federal government every year. That said, a landlord in Oregon may only charge fees specifically listed and approved in the... Read more »

It seems odd that they would not want to receive compensation for the vet bill, since you stated you are willing to pay. The next step would be to draft a letter with supporting documentation enclosed of ownership and offering to pay the vet bill and demanding the return of the dog. If that... Read more »
