Updated Landlord-Tenant Policies / by Lee McKnight

Effective February 1, 2021, Multnomah County rescinded Ordinance 1287, also known as Multnomah County COVID-19 “Renter Protection Measures.” The county will now follow the statewide eviction moratorium guidelines, the details of which are outlined thoroughly here.

If you are a landlord, now is a great time to make sure that your tenants understand their rights and are aware of the actions they need to take to protect themselves (like documenting any failure to pay rent as a result of financial hardship).

As a landlord you may qualify for compensation for unpaid rent if your tenants have submitted documentation of their financial hardship in writing. This simple graphic outlines the process for landlord (and ultimatley tenant) compensation.

There are exemptions to the no cause eviction moratorium for certain circumstances which require specific notices and actions. If you have questions about selling your investment property, give us a call and we can point you in the right direction to make sure you adhere to the current laws.
