About Our Service
- What exactly does Oregon Past Due Rent do?
- Oregon Past Due Rent helps landlords and property managers issue legally compliant "Notice of Termination for Nonpayment of Rent" documents to tenants who are late on rent. We handle the entire process - from creating the proper notice to delivering it according to Oregon law, and providing proof of service.
- Is the service only available in Oregon?
- Yes, currently our service is specifically designed for Oregon landlords and property managers, as rental laws vary significantly by state. Our notices comply with Oregon's specific requirements, including the 2023 law updates.
- How quickly are notices delivered?
- We process notices within one business day of submission. The actual delivery timeframe depends on the tenant's location, but is typically completed within 1-3 business days. This is significantly faster than attempting to handle the process yourself.
- Who uses Oregon Past Due Rent?
- Our service is used by both individual landlords with a single rental property and large property management companies with multiple units. Anyone who needs to issue past-due rent notices in Oregon can benefit from our service.
- What information do I need to provide?
- You'll need to provide basic information about the tenant (name, rental address), details about the past-due rent (amount, due date), and your contact information. Our simple form guides you through all the required fields.
- How do you serve the notices?
- We use multiple methods in accordance with Oregon law, which may include personal service, posting at the property, and mailing. This comprehensive approach ensures that your notice meets all legal requirements for service.
Pricing & Payment
- How much does each notice cost?
- Each notice costs $15. This flat fee covers the entire process from notice creation to delivery and proof of service.
- Are there any subscription fees?
- No, there are absolutely no subscription fees or recurring charges. You only pay when you need to send a notice.
- Do you offer bulk pricing?
- Yes, we offer special bulk pricing for property managers who send 10 or more notices per month. Please contact us for a custom quote based on your volume needs.
- What payment methods do you accept?
- We accept all major credit cards and debit cards. For property management companies with bulk needs, we can also arrange for invoicing.
- Are there any hidden fees?
- No, the $15 per notice fee is all-inclusive. The only potential additional cost would be for optional notarized affidavits, which can be requested for a small additional fee if needed for court proceedings.
- How do I pay for notices?
- Payment is collected at the time you submit a notice request through our secure online payment system. Your payment information is securely stored to make future notices even easier to process.
Legal & Compliance
- Are your notices legally compliant?
- Yes, our notices are fully compliant with Oregon law, including the recent 2023 updates. Our templates have been reviewed by legal professionals and have withstood scrutiny in eviction courts throughout Oregon.
- What's the difference between 10-day and 13-day notices?
- A 10-day notice is used for standard rental situations, giving tenants 10 days to pay past-due rent before eviction proceedings can begin. A 13-day notice is required for certain subsidized housing situations. Our system helps determine which notice is appropriate for your specific situation.
- Can I use this service to start an eviction?
- This service provides the legally required first step in the eviction process. A properly served "Notice of Termination for Nonpayment of Rent" is required before you can file for eviction in Oregon. After the notice period expires, if the tenant hasn't paid, you can proceed with filing an eviction case in court.
- Will the notice guarantee I can evict my tenant?
- While our service ensures that the notice and service comply with Oregon law, eviction proceedings involve additional legal requirements and court proceedings. However, a properly served notice significantly increases your chances of a successful eviction case if it becomes necessary.
- What proof of service do you provide?
- We provide detailed documentation of when and how the notice was delivered, including dates, times, and methods. Upon request, we can provide a notarized affidavit of service that can be used in court proceedings.
- How long must I wait after serving a notice before I can file for eviction?
- You must wait for the notice period to expire (10 or 13 days, depending on the notice type). If the tenant hasn't paid the past-due rent or moved out by that time, you can proceed with filing an eviction case in court.
