In the case of lease termination due to non-payment in Oregon, which notice must be given?

In Oregon, when a lease is terminated due to non-payment of rent, the law requires that a landlord provide a 72-hour notice to the tenant before taking any further action, such as filing for eviction. This notice must inform the tenant that they are in violation of the lease agreement due to their failure to pay rent and that they have a limited time to rectify the situation by paying the overdue rent.

The rationale behind the 72-hour notice is to give tenants a fair opportunity to respond to the non-payment issue and make the necessary payment to avoid eviction. This timeframe ensures that tenants are aware of the seriousness of the situation and the potential consequences, thus upholding the principle of providing tenants with sufficient notice and the chance to correct their oversight.

In contrast, options that include 15-day, 30-day, or 48-hour notices are not aligned with the specific requirement for non-payment situations and pertain to different circumstances under Oregon's eviction laws.
