Make sure all gd. On 8th they taped eviction notice on my porch. I walked a new check next door that day. I provided them with proof of bank mailing. They want me to pay them a late fee of $100 under these circumstances. Is that legal. I’m also a landlord and I always text to let tenants... Read more »


Unfortunately, the burden is on the tenant to see that the rent is paid on time. It is also the tenant's choice as to how to convey that payment to the landlord. This means that while you relied upon the bank and the postal service, they apparently let you down and your rent was late (did it... Read more »
The museum acquired the piece in 1941 and declares that the website image is in the public domain with no restriction on use. The item is a cross stitch sampler. I want to create and copyright a pattern for others to use to recreate the sampler. I intend to profit from my use of the likeness of the... Read more »

Depends. You should consult with an attorney and make sure you understand the terms and conditions of the museum.
Any law to point to or information that helps would be great. We are fine with them entering to inspect but we want to be safe.

I know of no law that requires a landlord to wear a mask while entering your home. That said, you absolutely have a right to require him and all with him to do so as a condition of entry during Covid times. I do not believe any Judge would consider that to be unreasonable and as Ms. Goodman... Read more »
Any law to point to or information that helps would be great. We are fine with them entering to inspect but we want to be safe.

Yes, you can ask that your landlord wear a mask to complete the inspection of the property. Please note that your landlord has a right to access the property as long as a landlord does not abuse the right of access or use it to harass you. Please note as a tenant you cannot unreasonably withhold... Read more »
MULTNOMAH COUNTY, OREGON--OCTOBER 14, 2021

A landlord may not raise rent during the first 12 months of occupancy. Thereafter they can raise rent in a month to month tenancy with at least 90 days prior written notice that contains all the legally required information; that is lawfully served upon the tenant; and which does not exceed the...

I have discussed the issues concerning 5 violations by the adjoining unit for 5 months now. I have been here for 16 years as a tenant and fully obligated by my signature and the manager that the rental agreement is followed and fair treatment to both parties.
Thank you

It sounds as if the alleged breach is between your landlord and neighbors. If so, you have little to say about it since it is not your contract with the landlord that is being breached.
Type of accident: Hit & run (documented in police report)
Driver (victim): Oregon resident
Accident location: Idaho (twenty miles from Oregon border, on westbound side of highway)

If you and the at-fault driver are residents of Oregon, then you have the option of filing suit in Oregon or Idaho. In Oregon, you would have to file suit in the county in which the at-fault driver resides or the insurer conducts business. If the insurer conducts business in ID and OR, which is... Read more »

I would reach out to an attorney on your behalf to determine whether this is a scam, as it sounds like such.
We live and work at the same place, I would like to have one attorney handle both cases

There are attorneys out there who do both, however, you are more likely to find a law firm with attorneys who do both and can work collectively on your case.

I'm sorry to hear of the situation you are in. You will need to hire a probate attorney to evaluate the situation and give you legal advice. If you cannot afford to pay an attorney I recommend you contact the Legal Aid Office in your county:

The images would be color, one-sided, based on real denominations, without the treasury seal included. The manipulation would consist of expanding the bill into a large square and including added pictures. There is no intent to print them or pass them as real. Thank you.

This could get tricky and run anyone down a number of legal rabbit holes. But all things being equal, if you were doing this as art, and not passing the manipulations (for lack of a better term) as currency or counterfeit...I don't think you'd be in trouble for what you're proposing.... Read more »
My employer is not paying my PTO because they say that I was “not fulfilling my work duties” since I called out sick one day during my 30 day notice. Are they able to do this?
They are not paying for the sick day, which is noted in the handbook since I called out during my 30 day... Read more »

Are they not paying your PTO for the day that you were sick, or are they not paying out the balance of your PTO upon your termination? If they are not allowing you to use your PTO for the day you were sick, you could have a wage claim for those missing wages, assuming you qualify under Oregon Sick... Read more »

I agree with what others have answered to this question. It is very unlikely that you have a claim against the renter or that most ethical attorneys would be willing to pursue such a claim. This doesn't mean there is no chance whatsoever that your stay at the rental caused your COVID, but from... Read more »
My company's name is INK Therapy, or "IT"

I'm trying to find out if I can use PennyWise's image???

Basically no, as you would presumably infringe on someone's copyright and also likely a trademark.
I try to make it simple: If you are trying to make money off of someone else's work, there is likely a problem.

No, rent is pro-rated daily in Oregon and a landlord is free to issue a notice anytime he wishes.

Everyone represents themselves in small claims court. You have to file an Appearance within the 14 days or face a default. You can file a motion asking for more time to answer, explaining why you need it. You best have a good reason or the Judge is not likely to grant it and you will start off... Read more »
Specifically in Umatilla Co.

Yes. What it is depends upon the nature of the civil suit or perhaps what claims are elected to be made - i.e. some events may give rise to more than one way of claiming damages and each may have a different statute of limitations.
I took a loan from my 401k. I want to stay in the house. I don’t know if he will leave.

When an unmarried couple separates, Oregon courts attempt to determine the parties’ intent when deciding whether and how to divide property acquired during the relationship. The key inquiry is whether the parties intended to “pool their resources for their common benefit.”

An Oregon attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a general matter nationwide, it is possible, but less likely if the matter involved something requiring personal service (as opposed to service by mail, leaving with a person of suitable age, etc., or other...
