Avisos sin causa

Unless you live with your landlord or you moved in someone new within the past year, the notice is illegal. 

If the notice is illegal, talk to your landlord and ask them to take back the notice. Get them to confirm this in writing (text or email).

Your landlord can take you to court to evict you (have a judge order you to move out). Learn more about eviction court cases here.  

However, if their termination notice doesn’t follow all the rules, you may be able to use this as a defense to stop an eviction case.  

No. But if your landlord files an eviction court case because you stayed past the notice date, that case will go on your record.  

If you and your landlord settle the eviction case, or you win the eviction case, you can have the case removed from your record.

This might be retaliation. Retaliation means your landlord is doing something to punish you for standing up for your rights. Retaliation is illegal in Oregon. 

If your landlord files an eviction case after you ask for repairs or assert your housing rights, you may be able to use this as a defense to stop an eviction case.
