Property Management

Under Oregon law, an eviction for non-payment of rent requires the landlord to accept rent from the tenant within the notice period. If the tenant tenders the overdue rent and all fees within the 72-hour notice period, what happens?

AThe landlord can still proceed with eviction
BThe tenancy is reinstated and the eviction process stops✓ Correct
CThe landlord must accept the payment but can still evict for other reasons
DThe tenant must also pay the landlord's attorney fees

Explanation

Under ORLTA, if the tenant pays all outstanding rent, late fees, and other charges owed within the 72-hour notice period, the tenancy is reinstated and the landlord cannot proceed with the eviction. This 'right to cure' for non-payment protects tenants who can come up with the funds.
