Eviction Case Guidance Provided

Summary

In Portland, Oregon, landlords must provide written notice before eviction. For non-payment, a 72-hour notice is given, and for lease violations, a 30-day notice is required. If you have a payment agreement, it should be honored by your landlord. Moving out before the payment agreement date is generally not considered an eviction, but the landlord might still pursue unpaid rent, which could affect your credit score. Unpaid rent can show up on background checks if reported to credit bureaus, impacting future rental opportunities. It may appear on credit reports after being sent to collections, which can take a few weeks to several months. Consult the Oregon Law Center for personalized advice.
