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.

• What I can do to feel safe in my community if the landlord is not taking action against crimes within the park?

  Your landlord must provide a safe place for you. You can invoke a Mandatory Mediation with the landlord about habitability issues, safety issues, and other tenants in order to try and solve any problems you may have, especially concerning safety.
