Oregon Grant Misuse Concerns

I received a grant from the state of Oregon that was intended to provide domestic violence victims with the funds needed to escape their situation and obtain safe housing. This grant awarded to me was given directly to the owner of a mobile home park where I am supposed to be buying a home. The agreement between he and I was verbal. Our agreement was that he would loan me $*,*.* to cover the costs of the renovation of the home. I would provide the labor for free. Once the renovations were complete we were to finalize the agreement for the purchase of the home, but this contract was never drawn up. I did however sign a document outlining the rules of the mobile home park and in this contract there is a section that states that we do have a tentative agreement for the purchase of the home and that terms will be agreed upon once renovations are complete. This contract that I signed also states that tenancy would begin on October 1st *. However, renovations were not complete and the home did not have running water, toilets or electricity and was uninhabitable until late November * and that’s when I actually moved into the home. The land owner is claiming that I owe money for rent for the months of October, November, December of * and January of *. I do not agree rent should have been charged for the months of October and November since I was not living in the home. I believe the $*,* domestic violence grant I was awarded should have been applied starting in late November at a prorated rate. I also don’t feel I should put any money towards the repayment of the renovation loan until the terms of our rent to own purchase agreement are finalized, as I believe it would be unwise to pay that portion of our deal until I know that my funds will be going towards ownership of the home and not just for “rent.” I am however willing to pay $* a month for Lot Space rent as opposed to $*,* per month of which we agreed that $* of that would go towards the repayment of the loan for the purchase of the home and the other $* would be for lot space. Can you give me any insight?

Can you research and tell me more about the Oregon domestic violence assistance grant?

What about the grant that is given directly by the state of Oregon via DSHS

Can you theorize an argument supporting the idea that the above outlined case would be in violation of how the grants intended purpose?

Can you calculate what I would actually owe at this point, if the $*,* grant began being applied as of the date of my official tenancy on November 22nd * if the monthly agreed upon amount is $*,*? $* for lot rent and $* for loan repayment aka rent.

Can you recalculate that if the amount of the grant was $*

Would that amount due be for the month of January * or February?

Can you calculate how much I would owe if I only agreed to paying $* in lot rent until the purchase agreement is written up and finalized

Please calculate it while also factoring in the $*,* domestic violence grant

Can you please review our entire conversation and draft a letter to the owner with all of these factors and key points? I want to overall tone of the letter to be non hostile while also conveying that the mobile home park agreement I signed is not valid due to the issues outlined above including but not limited to: the misuse of government funded grant money for domestic violence victims and the section of the agreement which states that our purchase agreement will be finalized once renovations are complete

Can you draft up another version of this that includes all the points in the first letter I had you write?

No, please include that along with the following points:

Now rewrite that and include these points as well: I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address several concerns regarding our rent-to-own contract for the property located at [Property Address], particularly relating to the start date of my tenancy and the application of the Oregon Department of Human Services Domestic Violence grant. *. Uninhabitable Condition: As per our agreement, my tenancy was supposed to commence on October *, *. However, the home was uninhabitable until late November * due to ongoing renovations. Consequently, I did not move into the property until late November *. Therefore, I believe rent for October and November should not be applicable. *. Grant Application: I was awarded a $*,*.* Domestic Violence grant intended for securing safe and permanent housing. It isessential that this grant be applied correctly as per our agreement. This amount should have been used towards the monthly repayment of the loan starting from the time I moved in late November *. *. Contract Terms: Our contract specifies that the tenancy would begin on October *, *, with the terms of the purchase to be agreed upon once renovations were complete. Since the property was not habitable until late November, it is pertinent that the rental payments reflect this delay. Given the above points, I believe the rent due should be recalculated to start from late November *, and the $*,*.* grant should be applied accordingly. This adjustment ensures that the financial terms of our agreement are fair and reflective of the actual circumstances. I hope we can resolve this matter amicably and ensure that the agreement is honored as intended. Please let me know your thoughts on this matter or if further discussion is needed. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Please elaborate more on why I feel that our signed contract is not reflective of the actual situation and reformat the letter to focus less on the financials and more on the lack of context in the contract and how it pertains to agreement of funds being used and the terms of when tenancy would begin

Write a complete and concise letter Draft a letter to the property manager, Matt Williams of Bison Properties, using all of the key information referenced here. Use a similar format to this, where each issue and potential violation of the contract is clearly stated and then explained. Include - Misuse of Funds: The grant was for safe housing, not renovation. The funds given to the mobile home park owner should have been used to provide immediate, habitable, and safe housing. - Uninhabitable Housing: Charging rent for October and November * when the home was uninhabitable contradicts the grant's purpose of providing immediate safe housing. - Lack of Written Agreement: There’s no finalized written agreement confirming the terms of the purchase, which undermines the security the grant aims to provide. *. Uninhabitable Condition: As per our agreement, my tenancy was supposed to commence on October *, *. However, the home was uninhabitable until late November * due to ongoing renovations. Consequently, I did not move into the property until late November *. Therefore, I believe rent for October and November should not be applicable. *. Grant Application: I was awarded a $*,* Domestic Violence grant intended for securing safe and permanent housing. It is essential that this grant be applied correctly as per our agreement. This amount should have been used towards the ownership of the home via the repayment of the remodel loan starting from the time I moved in late November *. *. Contract Terms: Our contract specifies that the tenancy would begin on October *, *, with the terms of the purchase to be agreed upon once renovations were complete. Since the property was not habitable until late November, it is pertinent that the rental payments reflect this delay. *.

Contract Terms: Our contract specifies that the tenancy would begin on October *, *, with the terms of the purchase to be agreed upon once renovations were complete. Since the property was not habitable until late November, it is pertinent that the rental payments reflect this delay. The grant should cover the monthly lot rent of $* for the space up to this point, and the remaining funds should be applied towards the purchase of the home via the repayment of the remodel loan only when a finalized purchase agreement is in place. It is unwise to provide payment for something without assurance those funds will be applied to the principal of the loan and comply with the intended use of the state awarded grant The grant was intended to provide immediate, safe housing, not for renovations. The current situation seems to contradict the grant's purpose. I received a $*,* grant from the state of Oregon department of Human Services to secure safe housing as a domestic violence victim. The funds were provided directly to you for this purpose. However, the home was uninhabitable until late November *, lacking essential utilities. Despite this, I was charged rent for October and November *, which I believe is unjustified. Additionally, we have yet to finalize our purchase agreement. I signed a contract outlining the mobile home park rules, which states that terms will be agreed upon once renovations are complete. Given this, it would be unwise for me to start repaying the renovation loan until our agreement is finalized and documented. Here is a breakdown of the financial aspects as I seethem: - Monthly Rent Calculation: - November *-*, * (prorated for 9 days): $* - December *: $* - January *: $* - Total Rent Owed: $*,* - Grant Application: - Grant applied: $*,* - Remaining Grant: $*,* Given the above, I believe the grant should cover the rent up to this point, and the remaining funds should be applied to the home purchase via loan repayment once a finalized purchase agreement is in place.

Please rewrite using the bullet point format for all key points and group the similar points together rather than having multiple sections with similar headings.

Only the headings indicated in bold text need to be bulleted. The explanations underneath each heading should be thoroughly and clearly elaborated upon. Please use language that will help him to understand that he is not in compliance with Oregon state law
