Property Management

In Oregon, a tenant in a month-to-month tenancy receives proper notice to vacate. After the notice period expires, the tenant refuses to leave. The landlord's legal remedy is to:

AHire movers to remove the tenant's belongings
BFile a Forcible Entry and Detainer (FED) complaint in Oregon circuit or district court✓ Correct
CChange the locks and remove the tenant's belongings
DContact OREA to mediate the dispute

Explanation

When a tenant refuses to vacate after proper notice, the Oregon landlord must file a Forcible Entry and Detainer (FED) complaint in the appropriate court. The court will schedule a hearing, and if the landlord prevails, the court issues a judgment for possession. Only after obtaining a court order can the landlord, with the sheriff's assistance, remove the tenant. Self-help evictions are illegal in Oregon.
