Property Management

Under Oregon law, a residential landlord who accepts rent after serving a notice to vacate has likely:

AAccelerated the eviction timeline
BWaived the notice and reinstated the tenancy✓ Correct
CConverted to a commercial tenancy
DCreated a new lease automatically

Explanation

In Oregon, if a landlord accepts rent after serving a termination notice (without noting the acceptance is without prejudice), they may waive the notice and reinstate the tenancy. Landlords must be careful not to accept rent payments after serving eviction notices unless they include a written 'acceptance without waiver' statement. Inadvertent waiver requires the landlord to start the process over.
