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.
