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.
