Property Management

Under Oregon ORLTA, which of the following is a tenant's legal remedy when the landlord fails to provide habitable conditions?

BThe tenant may give notice to the landlord, allow time to repair, and if not repaired, terminate the lease or pursue other remedies✓ Correct

DThe tenant may only file a complaint with OREA

Explanation

Oregon ORLTA gives tenants multiple remedies for habitability failures: they can provide written notice to the landlord, allow a reasonable time to repair, and if not repaired, may terminate the lease, repair-and-deduct, or seek a rent reduction through court action. Tenants cannot simply withhold rent without following proper procedures.
