  1. If the landlord serves you with a notice and you do not comply with it, the landlord can seek a court order to have you evicted. If you are being stalked, abused or anything of the sort you can change your locks and inform your landlord, you don't need to ask permission. Landlord discrimination against victims makes the landlord treat people fairly. Rent increase notices must be in writing and served on the tenant to be legally effective.

  2. (1) The only way a landlord can evict a tenant is by using a court proceeding for eviction. (2) Rent increase notices must be in writing and served on the tenant to be legally effective. (3) To end a month-to-month tenancy, you must give your tenant a 30-day written notice, unless the rental unit is in the city of Portland, where 90 days notice is required for no-cause evictions

  3. Some things I learned are: family status laws protect pregnant women, guardians of children, and people in the process of obtaining legal custody of children. Safety features such as floors, stairs, ceilings and railings must be maintained by landlords. No cause notices are not possible for tenants living in the home for a set period of time.

  4. 1.In Portland tenants have a 90 day notice instead of a 30 day notice like in most other counties

  5. Recently laws were set in place for apartment laws, such as the around of notice the landlord must give the tenant before raising the rent. Landlords are only aloud t raise the rent by 7% within a year, making Oregon's CPI 10.7% now. The only way a landlord can evict a tenant is by using a court proceeding for eviction. As well Oregon's Federal law protects you from being discriminated against for your race, color, national origin, religion, sex, family status and physical and mental disability. Oregon law also forbids these kinds of discrimination.

  6. Any rental dwelling is considered drug and alcohol free if it is a part of 8 or more combined dwellings. so 8 rentals in a community or 8 joined buildings must be drug or alcohol free. Tenant is responsible for keeping away rodents. A tenant is not responsible for damages resulting from an act of god.

  7. 1)Some cities in Oregon protect people from discrimination about age.
    2)A rental unit needs something that can heat the whole house adequately.
    3)Eviction proceedings in court move really fast.

  8. Landlords can only evict renters by using a court proceeding for eviction. To end a month to month tenancy, you must give your tenant a 30 day written notice. Landlord discrimination makes the landlord treat people fairly.

  10. -Rent cannot be increased during any 12-month period above the existing rent in an amount greater than 7%.
    -If a tenant living for less than two years in drug and alcohol free housing uses, possesses or shares alcohol, marijuana items. Illegal drugs, controlled substances or prescription drugs without a medical prescription, the landlord may deliver a written notice to the tenant terminating the tenancy for cause and take possession.
    -A residential landlord cannot terminate a rental agreement with a tenant without the tenant’s agreement, unless the landlord takes the tenant to court and gets a court order.

  11. i learned that even though the landlord owns the property and the home you are renting they still cant invade your home without legal authority, but if they give advanced notice they can go in and fix things or anything needed. if you have a month to month rental then they can give you a 30 day notice and you can give a 30 day notice to leave. for repairments in the home tell the landlord as soon as the problem starts so they can fix it right away and if they don't then you can give a 30 day notice to get it fixed or move out.

  16. I did not know that you can have a week to week tenant living status than a month to month, also that a tenant has the right to their own privacy but still have to allow inspections of landlords when given a notice, and finally if the landlord does not fix something when written too about you may end your lease with them and get your security deposit back.

  17. Three things I found that I did not know were that landlords sometimes do not call over the right repairs person to do the correct repairing for the house. Another fact I did not know that you can end the rental agreement, if your landlord does not meet the certain time that they have to repair the facilities and your landlord has to return your security deposit and all prepaid rent. I've also found out that there are special rules to foreclosure and "if the landlord later provides written evidence that the property is no longer in foreclosure, the landlord may require restoration of the security deposit or prepaid rent after providing the tenant with at least two months' notice".

  21. 1)Rent can not increase within the first year after that first year the landlord has to give a 90 day period before raising the rent
    2)If repairs need to be done to the rental the renter has to report the problems to the landlord or the landlord will find it during a inspection of the place
    3)Landlords do not have to change the locks after a tenant moves out or when a new tenant moves in

  22. 1) Before taking any kind of action concerning repairs, you also should check with a lawyer or your local legal aid office.
    2) the landlord can give you a 144-hour notice when the rent is 5 days overdue. Your landlord may charge certain fees for late rate rent.
    3) In order to keep all or part of the deposit, you must give the tenant, within 31 days after termination, a written accounting that states specifically why you kept a portion or all of the deposit.

  23. I did not know If a landlord refuses to provide certain kinds of services, and if you did not cause the problem, you may correct the problem if you first give written notice to the landlord,
    If you have caused serious harm to your landlord or to his or her property or to other people on the rental property, or you have committed outrageous acts there, your landlord is permitted to give you a 24-hour written notice to leave, If the landlord has properly served you with a notice and you do not comply with it, the landlord can seek a court order to have you evicted.

  26. Something I learned is that your landlord may not enter the property at odd hours, without a legitimate reason, or without notice. Another thing that I have learned is that you cant be discriminated in any way by your landlord, in addition to the fact that you are responsible for your own batteries in the smoke detector, not your landlord.

  27. 1. If a landlord refuses to provide certain kinds of services, and if you did not cause the problem, you may correct the problem if you first give written notice to the landlord

    2. The landlord does not have to tell you the reason for the 30-day —or in Portland, 90-day —notice, but the reason must be a lawful one.

    3. You can get your deposit back?? wild

  28. I learned that in habitatbility if you don't meet any standards then by Oregon law your home's fair rental value is less than what you have agreed to pay and your landlord may owe you money for every month that passes without the problems being fixed

  29. - If something at your rental is damaged and you tell the landlord, but the landlord decides not to fix it very fast you can give a written notice that you will move out if it's not completed in 30 days, and 7 days for water, plumbing, etc.
    - Tenants get the right to a "habitable home" which means the rental must be sanitary, safe, and free of pests. Furthermore, there must be working heat, plumbing, proper wiring, etc.
    - "Last months rent" is a fee when you first move in, that will cover the last payment of your stay at that rental. So when you move out, that month you move out you'll have no payment.

  30. As a Tenant you have a right to privacy, and should know that landlords don't have the right to enter you property, unless the following conditions apply
    1) 24 hrs. notice
    2) An Emergency
    3) For Repair and maintenance(only allowed on lawn)
    4) Or if it was specifically mentioned in the contract

  31. -Oregon now has rent control that limits rent increases for existing tenants. Rent cannot be increased during any 12-month period above the existing rent in an amount greater than 7% plus the consumer price index from the previous calendar year.
    -Most tenants in Oregon have month-to-month rental agreements. In this type of tenancy, tenants pay rent once a month and the rental agreement continues until either the tenant or the landlord decides to end it. In a month-to-month tenancy, rent cannot be increased during the first year after the tenancy begins.
    -The other common type of tenancy is a fixed-term tenancy for a definite amount of time. A rental agreement for a fixed-term is called a lease. Usually, a lease will state the amount of rent the tenant must pay while the lease is in effect. A lease may also list a method for increasing rent during the term.

  32. I learned that...
    1) Landlords must return security deposit within 31 days after tenant moves out. Or notify why they need an extension.
    2)If the landlord does not make the repairs within a reasonable amount of time, then the tenant must send the landlord a seven-day notice stating their intention to hire someone to make repairs. If the landlord does not respond, the tenant can continue with repairs. The tenant must send the landlord a copy of the receipt. So the landlord will pay anyways.
    3)Each apartment must have a second exit that can be used for escape during a fire. The exit can be a window or door that opens directly outside

  33. One thing that I found is that you can enter a week by week rental agreement, with a little more strict regulations, and that you don't need to pay deposits with such an agreement. Also, if you are caught in an eviction case, anything that you can think of counts as a defense, even stating that you didn't do what the landlord said that you did. Finally, you must be given a 120 day warning if the house that you are renting is being foreclosed upon.

  34. One thing I didn't know was that in a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord may not increase the rent within the first year of tenancy. I also didn't know that landlords may evict tenants for unpaid late fees, but the landlord must give the tenant a 30-day pay or quit notice. Lastly, I didn't know that if the landlord fails to make the necessary repairs to their own damaged property the tenant may sue the landlord for a reduction in rent, or even withhold rent until repairs are completed.

  35. 1. A landlord is allowed to give a tenant a 30 day eviction notice with cause (violating rules n whatnot), 72 / 144 hr notices from backed rent, and 24 hr notices for extreme situations (crimes & dangerous situations). 2. landlords must give a 24 hr notice before entering the property (unless its an emergency - then they need to tell you what the emergency was and who entered the home within 24 hrs.) 3. rent cannot be raised in a lease agreement if the raise is not specified in the lease.

    1)A landlord must give a written notice of eviction, and they must wait until the time said on the notice has passed before filing a court case. Landlord cannot go around this using methods such as locking you out of the unit.
    2)If your house fails to meet "Habitability standards", it is Oregon Law that the houses fair rental value is less than the agreed rent.
    3)Landlords cannot take or keep anything from their tenants until the rental agreement has ended

(2) If your tenant has lived in the dwelling for more than a year, you must give 60-days written notice. Rent cannot be increased during any 12-month period above the existing rent in an amount greater than 7%, landlords could not increase rent by more than 10.3%. (3) A lease that allows the landlord to give you a 24-hour notice of non-payment of rent would not be permitted.
