Selling Your Home? Wait! Before you sign anything…read this.
It has come to our attention that many parks are now “requiring” tenants to have an inspection performed prior to selling.
Some residents have been asked to sign a mandatory notice called a “Letter of Intent to Sell,” which sneaks in a clause where, by signing, you agree to have an inspection performed.
While Oregon law states you must give 10 days’ notice to your landlord before selling your home, it does not state that you must use the form provided by your landlord or agree to an inspection.
So, consider: if you simply write your landlord a note stating, “I intend to list my home for sale on [date],” have you complied with the law? Yes. Are you now required to have an inspection, which you never agreed to? No.
This is not legal advice, only an editorial opinion, based off an individual interpretation of ORS Chapter 90
Community Spotlight- October
Daneland Mobile Home Park in Eugene, OR, gets our community spotlight this month.
One thing is for sure—a vibrant social community is what makes for a great park where residents thrive.
The social schedule at Daneland is always filled with fun community events.
Art classes, exercise groups, birthday celebrations, potlucks, and luncheons, among many other activities, put Daneland Mobile Home Park at the top of our list for creating and maintaining a lively community.
They take time every month to write a park-wide newsletter, which they use to acknowledge other residents’ birthdays and kind acts as well as share park news and, of course, their event calendar.
We can only imagine what fun Halloween at Daneland must be. Great work!
