New Notices for Old Problems?
New notices for old problems?
Can you paint your house yellow? Maybe, maybe not. However, if you did happen to paint your house yellow last year, can your landlord come back to you now and complain about it?
Well, they can, but they can’t evict you for it. Oregon law makes it clear that if your management is aware a condition exists and accepts rent over a period of three consecutive months, without giving you notice, then they have waived their right to terminate your tenancy over that particular violation.
This does not apply to maintaining your space, deterioration of your home or health and safety hazards of course.
So maybe you can’t paint your house yellow, but if it’s been yellow for three months or more, then you can keep your yellow house (if you really want to.)
This is not legal advice, only an editorial opinion, based off an individual interpretation of ORS 90.412
Community Spotlight
SCANDIA VILLAGE MHP
Scandia Village in Junction City has a thriving OSTA Chapter. Read more about how they were able to raise approximately $800 for their community chapter with a community yard sale. They were very creative with this sale.
They asked community members to donate items to the chapter, which they could sell to raise funds. It was a win-win situation: residents unloaded some of their unwanted items, and the chapter made a healthy profit of around $800 by simply placing signs at their entrance and inviting the public to parade through and shop.
Other tenants in the park still held their own individual yard sales, and they had an excellent turnout.
This OSTA Chapter has the second highest number of members, with a total of 18 at last count.
