Answer:

You may try to show proof of expected future income, such as an unemployment benefits determination letter, to persuade the landlord to let you "cure". The right to cure is a right held by the tenant which permits the tenant to remedy a breach of a lease within a specified period of time without penalty. If the breach is not remedied within the stated time period, the landlord then may consider the lease terminated and bring eviction proceedings against the tenant. A notice of breach with no right to cure means that the tenant has breached a specific provision of the lease and has no right to remedy the breach. The lease is therefore terminated and the tenant has a specified time period to vacate the premises.

FAQs

What rights do I have as a tenant facing eviction in Oregon?

As a tenant in Oregon, you have the right to receive a formal eviction notice that specifies the reason for eviction and the time frame you have to respond. If you believe the eviction is unjust, you can contest it in court. You also have the right to cure certain lease violations, provided the notice allows for it. It's important to keep records of all communications with your landlord and seek legal assistance if needed.

Can my landlord change the locks without notice in Oregon?

In Oregon, a landlord cannot change the locks without providing proper notice and a legal reason for doing so. If you are facing eviction, the landlord must follow the legal eviction process, which includes notifying you and obtaining a court order if necessary. If your landlord changes the locks without following these procedures, it may be considered illegal lockout.

What should I do if my landlord is harassing me?

If your landlord is harassing you, document all incidents, including dates, times, and details of the harassment. You can address the issue directly with your landlord or file a complaint with local housing authorities. If the harassment continues, consider seeking legal advice or assistance from a tenant's rights organization to understand your options.

What is a right to cure in Oregon?

The right to cure in Oregon allows tenants to fix a lease violation within a specified time frame before eviction proceedings can begin. If the landlord's notice states that you have the right to cure, you can remedy the violation, such as paying overdue rent, to avoid eviction. If you fail to cure the issue within the given time, the landlord can proceed with eviction.
