Property Management
An Oregon tenant gives proper notice to vacate a month-to-month tenancy on October 1, effective October 31. The tenant's obligation to pay rent:
AEnds immediately when notice is given
BContinues through October 31, the effective date of termination✓ Correct
CContinues only through the date the tenant physically moves out
DEnds automatically when a new tenant moves in
Explanation
Under Oregon's ORLTA, giving proper notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy does not immediately end rent obligations. The tenant remains obligated to pay rent through the effective termination date — October 31 in this example. If the tenant vacates early, they may still owe rent through the termination date unless the landlord re-rents the unit earlier, reducing the tenant's liability through the landlord's duty to mitigate damages.
