Hi Tessa! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
I rented an Airbnb in Veneta, OR for * people and * pets, initially through March *. After January *, we made direct arrangements with the landlord, Lisa. The property had issues: no functional hot tub, Wi-Fi, or microwave, and we had to repair the shower, plumbing, heater, gas stove, and leaks ourselves. Lisa demanded unpaid labor to offset rent and later changed her attitude, bringing inspectors and accusing us of damage, which our cameras disproved. She issued conflicting notices, demanding we vacate early, pay more rent, and restricted parking. Lisa falsely reported us to the police for meth-making and damaging the property, even cutting pipes herself. She spread lies to neighbors, called false reports to police, and obtained baseless stalking orders to remove roommates. Her actions have made it impossible to find housing or leave peacefully. Please advise on tenant rights violations.

- Document everything: Keep records of all communications with Lisa, repair receipts, notices, and any evidence that disproves her claims.
- Contact local tenant rights organizations in Oregon for specific advice.
