5 TIPS to Protect Tenant Rights
5 TIPS to Protect Your Rights as a Tenant
- Automatic payments for rent are a bad idea and can be a source of grief later. Once the money is taken out, it is nearly impossible to get back. Protect yourself. Rent withholding is a powerful tool, don’t surrender it.
- If a Tenant receives an invalid notice of increase, it is the same as not receiving a notice at all. You should continue to pay rent as usual, without an increase. Tenants should seek immediate legal counsel if a landlord attempts to collect rents not actually due. This could be considered “a threat or attempt of unlawful ouster.”
- A rent increase contained within a lease is not a valid notice of an increase.
- Check to see if your park is registered with the MMCRC. If not, contact the MMCRC, or ask your tenants association to inform the landlord of their duty to register.
- All interactions with your landlord should be in writing, sent by regular mail. Keep a journal of every interaction with your landlord and their agents, including maintenance workers, contractors, etc., noting what was said and the time and date.
- Any increase effective Sept. 1, 2025 or later is not valid if it is greater than 6%.
- Notice of an increase must be given at least 90 prior to the effective date.
- The landlord may increase your rent only once a year.

MAIL DELIVERY
MAIL DELIVERY
Times are certainly changing. If there was one thing you could always count on, it was the postman delivering the mail. Rain or Shine!
It seems that is not always the case. OSTA recently received a very large bundle of mail containing letters, and yes- checks, which were sent between February and May.
The post office was not delivering our mail, after cutting out a route. It is our understanding that the Eugene post office is facing many troubles at this time.
