Explanation

Cash for keys is an informal, voluntary negotiated agreement where a landlord offers a tenant a cash payment (or rent forgiveness) in exchange for the tenant vacating the property quickly, in good condition, and without damage. This can be faster and cheaper than formal eviction proceedings and is legal in Oregon as a negotiated settlement.
