On May 18, 2023 the Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s eviction judgment for the landlord in a case involving the requirements of a for cause termination notice. Oregon law requires that a landlord provide a tenant with a right to cure (fix the problem) if the for-cause reason for terminating a tenancy “can be cured by the tenant by a change in conduct, repairs, payment of money or otherwise[.]” ORS 90.392(4)(a). This case decided that the landlord makes the call if a tenant can cure a reason for termination. In this extreme case, the Court found that the repairs, costing somewhere between $20,000 and $100,000 could not have been completed by the tenant within the 14 days. Time will tell whether this opinion is appealed. The Court of Appeals read a requirement for the landlord to assess whether the cure can happen within the 14 day minimum time period, but the statute contains no such limitation. Unless and until contrary precedential opinion, the opinion will stand: landlord are able to decide, in good faith, whether or not a tenant would be able to cure a for cause reason for termination within 14 days and, if not, may issue a for cause notice of termination without providing any notice or ability for a tenant to cure.
