One of the first conditions that an owner must address for his rental is the issue of pets. Will they be allowed? If so, what types of pets? What breeds? While it is within a landlord`s right not to allow pets, the Federal Disability Act provides that an animal is allowed in a tenancy if that animal is a service animal. In fact, a landlord cannot discriminate during the applicant`s review process based on a number of factors, one of which is the applicant`s disability. Oregon has specific language in landlord tenant laws that deals with pets that can cause harm and are kept on the premises. According to O.R.S. § 90.405, the owner has certain rights to terminate a rental agreement if such a pet is on the premises without the owner`s permission. If the tenant enters into the lease for the same reason (i.e., .B with a pet that may cause bodily harm or property damage without permission) within six months, the landlord may terminate the tenancy agreement in writing with at least 10 days` notice. The owner/agent and tenant agree that the above pets are the only pets allowed in the rental unit. Tenants agree to the following conditions: The law states that if the tenant violates the lease and keeps a pet on the premises that may cause bodily injury or property damage, the landlord may issue a written notice indicating the violation and indicates that the rental ends on a date of at least 10 days after the delivery of the notice, unless the tenant removes the animal from the premises before the termination date specified in the notice. If the animal is not removed by the specified date, the rental ends and the owner may take possession of it in the manner provided for by the O.R.S. §§ 105.105 to 105.168. Step 2 – Enter the date of the pet addendum agreement, followed by the date of the lease, the name of the tenant and the landlord. In the event that a pet stays in your rental unit, there are significant restrictions regarding pets.
The first consideration is to have a separate written agreement for pets. The written pet agreement must specify the type, breed and name of each animal allowed on the premises. It is within the legal right of the owner to impose a reasonable fine for pets in the premises without the owner`s permission, and this language should be included in the rental agreement. A pet supplement gives permission to allow the tenant to have pets on the rental property. It requires that the tenant be responsible for his pets, which require them to keep their animals under control, that they do not cause excessive disturbance to the property, and that the owner of the pet is responsible for property damage caused by pets. The landlord can set a fee or deposit that the tenant must pay, which is either non-refundable (one-time fee) or refundable (such as a deposit). In addition, the landlord defines the number, type and size of pets that the tenant is allowed to have. This document is legally binding and therefore both parties must comply with the details of this written agreement. . This law does not provide for compensation for punitive damages. Brauer v.
Erwin, 287 Or 435, 600 P2d 398 (1979) Step 3 – Enter the number and type of pets the tenant is allowed to have. Next, write down the number of books that a pet is allowed to weigh. If the landlord wants to charge a fee or deposit related to the tenant who owns pets, they must enter the dollar amount of those fees/deposits and indicate whether it is refundable or not. If the tenant terminates the lease of the apartment but illegally withholds it, the landlord does not have to inform the tenant as a condition of maintaining the real estate claim. Skourtes v Schaer, 36 Or App 659, 585 P2d 703 (1978), Sup Ct review denied Step 5 – At the bottom of the first page and at the top of the second page, one (1) or two (2) tenants and one (1) or two (2) landlords must provide the following: Damages due to psychological distress are not refundable under this law. Diefenbach, 34 or App 241, 578 P2d 467 (1978), amended by 35 or App 829, 578 P2d 467 (1978). In particular, “pet that is likely to harm persons or property” means an animal that, by reason of the nature, size or behavioural characteristics of that animal, breed or type of animal, could generally consider that a reasonable person may cause harm to persons or property. Damage can include water damage caused by medium-sized or larger aquariums, or other bodily injury or property damage resulting from the environment in which the animal is kept. WARNING! Make sure you know the law in the city/county where you manage, some cities and counties have their own rules before, during, and after renting! As this act is not punishable, it is not attacked for indeterminacy. Marquam Investment Corp.
