In Oregon is it legal for a landlord to refuse a rent payment from a non profit organization to the land lord on behalf of the tenant?

"A tenant’s duty regarding rent payments is to tender to the landlord an offer of the full amount of rent owed within the time allowed by law and by the rental agreement provisions regarding payment. A landlord may refuse to accept a rent tender that is for less than the full amount of rent owed or that is untimely."You can read more about duty to pay rent at the link.https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/90.417


Can a landlord take a persons property in lieu of rent without their permission?

No, they most certainly cannot. You would file in civil court to have your belongings returned and they would probably counterclaim for monies owed. In the end, the judge would sort this out and the landlord would have to return the properties he took without permission and would receive a judgment for the monies you owe for rent. But no, they cannot just take your personal belongings without permission for any reason.

How far back can you go to collect rent that is owed to you?

Generally he can go back as far as you owe the rent. But a landlord can only evict you for not paying the rent, not for money that you owe for back rent. If your landlord accepts your money for the correct amount of rent, he cannot evict you for the back amount, but he can sue you for that.

How do you collect owed rent?

The landlord's tacit hypothec -- It is an action that gives the landlord security for rent money that has not been paid. If the tenant has not paid the rent ,his goods are sold to cover the unpaid rent. When the goods are attached, it means an officer of the court will come and take the goods away as a form of security for outstanding rent and while the goods are on the leased property the landlord may interdict the tenant from removing them.


As a landlord how can collect rent owed to me from a tenant that was evicted through the court?

You can try suing the former tenant for back rent due in a civil suit. If you are successful you can obtain a judgment lien that can be used to seize any property they own to satisfy the judgment. You should visit your local small claims court to see if your claim falls within its jurisdiction. It is the least expensive way to go.


If a tenant has been delinquent for more than 30days and the landlord sues for the back rent can the landlord also include the amount of rent that will be owed for the remainder of the lease period?

No, this is considered accelerated rent. Future rent is not due yet, so he or she does not owe it yet. Also, if you re-rent the apartment his rent obligation ends the day the new tenant moves in. I have an article about this on my blog atwww.thelandlorddoctor.com or contact me at Bill@thelandlorddoctor.com Good luck! Bill

Can landlord issue judgment without legal action?

The landlord has self-remedies, up to a point. But landlords cannot issue a "legal judgement". The landlord can deduct damages and unpaid rent from your security deposit, and the landlord or tenant can seek legal resolution.


Can my ex-landlord collect unpaid rent during my bankruptcy I no longer live there discharge was July rent due was for June?

Not if you listed your landlord as a creditor on your bankruptcy petition and that there is excess property to pay your landlord after secured creditors and your exemptions. Unpaid rent is an unsecured debt. If a judgment lien is filed, you can avoid it if filed shortly before bankruptcy filing.
