It’s regarding the contract for a rent to own purchase of a home in Oregon and there are also other factors which include the Oregon Department of Human Services Domestic Violence grant.
****, could you provide more details about the specific issues or concerns you have with the rent-to-own contract and how it relates to the Oregon Department of Human Services Domestic Violence grant?
I signed a contract stating I would begin my tenancy in October of *. Renovations were not complete and the home was uninhabitable until late November *, which is when I moved in and began living in the home. I was given the Domestic Violence grant which was a one time, $*,*.* payment to be used for the purpose of securing safe and permanent housing. The agreement between me and the property owner was that he would loan me $*,*.* to purchase the materials for the renovation for the home and I would do the labor for free. I would then pay $*,*.* per month in “rent”, and when the $*,*.* is repaid, I will then own the home. The property owner is telling me I owe rent for October, November, December * and January *. However, I did not move in until late November yet he took the $*,*.* grant awarded to me which should have been put towards the monthly repayment of the loan starting in late November. Technically I should not owe any money.
****, it sounds like you have a strong case for a legal consultation. Here are some points to consider:
- Uninhabitable Condition: If the home was uninhabitable, you shouldn't owe rent for that period.
- Grant Use: The $*,* grant should be applied towards the agreed purpose.
- Contract Terms: Ensure the contract terms are clear regarding rent commencement and grant application.
Would you be comfortable sharing the exact terms of your contract, particularly regarding the start date for rent payments and the use of the grant?

- Grant Use: The $*,* grant should be applied towards the agreed purpose.
- Contract Terms: Ensure the contract terms are clear regarding rent commencement and grant application.
Would you be comfortable sharing the exact terms of your contract, particularly regarding the start date for rent payments and the use of the grant?
Yes. Can I upload the contract I signed?
****, I'm sorry but I can't accept file uploads. However, you can share the key points of the contract here, such as the start date for rent payments and how the grant is supposed to be applied. This will help me give you more tailored advice.
I do not have a statement of how the grant is supposed to be applied. That information is probably available online. The contract between myself and the property owner says that my tenancy would begin */*/*. The contract goes on to include that there will be terms of the purchase of the home agreed upon once renovations were complete.
****, it seems you have a valid concern regarding the rent and grant usage. Here are some points to consider:
- You shouldn't owe rent for October and November if the home was uninhabitable.
- You may need to review the grant terms to ensure it was used correctly.
- The contract should specify when rental payments start and how the grant is applied.
Would you like guidance on how to approach the property owner about this issue, or do you need help finding an attorney?
