Landlord Property Fraud Concerns

Summary

If a landlords property is fraudulently claimed as sold, they should verify county records, consult a real estate attorney, and report to law enforcement. If they cant afford an attorney, they can contact the Oregon State Bars Modest Means Program, local legal aid organizations, or seek pro bono services.

Im wanting to know for my landlord who is in hospital after major stroke he had last August.
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your landlord's situation. Could you please specify what exactly you want to know about his legal rights or obligations in this situation? Also, could you please let me know what state you're in?
Oregon
Hello ****, thank you for specifying your location. In Oregon, a landlord's rights and obligations can indeed change if they are incapacitated. Could you please clarify what aspects of the landlord-tenant relationship you are concerned about?
About his property and saying it has been sold and he didnt sell it
Hello ****,
In Oregon, property transactions require proper documentation. If your landlord didn't sell his property, but it's being claimed as sold, he may need to:
- Check the county records for any fraudulent deed transfer.
- Consult a real estate attorney.
- Report to local law enforcement.
This could be a case of real estate fraud.
Yes real estate fraud for sure. But what if he cant find or pay for an attorney?
Hello ****, if your landlord can't afford an attorney, he can:
- Contact Oregon State Bar's Modest Means Program for low-cost legal assistance.
- Reach out to local legal aid organizations.
- Consider pro bono services provided by law firms.
These options could provide free or affordable legal help.
