Landlord Representation
Our rental contract lawyers represent both residential and commercial landlords in McMinnville, Oregon, Yamhill County and surrounding counties. We are often brought in at the drafting stage of negotiating landlord leases to avoid future problems through careful, thorough writing of contracts.

We also assist property owners in resolving conflicts or taking legal action against unresponsive tenants:

  • Collection actions for non-payment of rent
  • Drafting of lease termination letters and eviction notices

  • Disposal of abandoned personal property
  • Representation in eviction litigation
  • Obtaining writs of assistance from the sheriff’s department

Lease agreements and evictions are highly regulated by Oregon statutes. Lease termination or eviction notices must comply strictly with state law, and Mr. Higgins provides knowledgeable legal counsel in drafting notices to the letter of the law. If the case ends up in court, we have extensive experience in all areas of civil litigation.
