    Well, you've answered your own question then. Since you are now working, you owe rent, including the rent that would normally have started once you began working again. See if you can work with management to come up with payment plan where you can slowly pay back what you owe in back rent...

    landlord talks to NON tenant

    No, there is nothing you can do about this. There is no law against your landlord telling your friend this information. Actually, it appears they were trying to warn you that unless something is done about the dog poop, further action will be taken. Ask your friend to help with the yard...

    paternity and legitimization

    The OP would need to provide evidence that is both accurate and irrefutable regarding any claims of the "instability" of the mother to achieve any hope of being given full custody. Understand that judges who handle these type of cases hear all sorts of wild stories on how one parent is...

    paternity and legitimization

    Until paternity is established, you are not legally considered to be the father. You need to seriously rethink your goal of full custody (and, by the way; if you cannot afford to pay for an DNA test how do you plan on having the funds to raise a child?). Once paternity is established...

    Tenant wants past rent from "illegal" subtenant

    In the absence of a written lease, a renter is considered to have a "tenancy at will", i.e., they have a month to month lease. If they pay monthly the lease begins the first day of the month and ends on the last. Month to month tenancies in Oregon (as in many states) can be terminated with a...

    Unlawful Detainer

    Look; you can't have it both ways. You can't claim that the house is uninhabitable (which, from your description, is very likely) and then state, oh we don't want to move because it's a pain to pull my child out of school...as long as we can live here rent free. It is highly unlikely a judge...

    Unlawful Detainer

    Quite likely, absolutely none. You can, of course, argue to the judge that this was the incorrect amount. It's up to him/her to decide whether this was simply a mistake or the landlord has to refile. Is there some point of dragging this out longer? Gail
