Common questions

• My landlord refuses to take care of the trees on my property — is that their job?

  Responsibility for tree maintenance depends on whether the tree is a hazard: landlords are responsible for hazard trees specifically, while routine tree care on a resident's own space typically falls to the resident.

• My landlord states that they aren’t responsible for the safety of their tenants unless it involves the land the house is physically on, is this true?

  The landlord must protect the health, safety or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by the residents. It is recommended you invoke a mandatory mediation with them after looking through the Oregon tenants and landlords statutes and seeing if they are violating any statutes in particular.

• Who is responsible for sidewalk repair, the homeowner or the Park?

  Sidewalks and other common-area infrastructure are the landlord's responsibility to maintain in habitable, safe condition, not the individual homeowner's.
