Hotline keeps renters out of hot water
By Jen Ellison
Fmorald Contributor
Shortly after bar hus
band died, Barbara nnd her
9-year-old non, Derrick,
came to liugeno from ('-a I i -
fontia In November 1991 to
be near lurr family and to
look for a place to live. She
found a groat apartment
and a landlord who
seemed like a dream come
true.
''Everything I needed *ho
offered me.” Barbara said
about her landlord. "She
promised to add a washor
and a dryer, put in new
curtains, wash the carpet
and fix the wall in the
bathroom."
Because Barbara would
be out of t o w tt a n d
couldn't move until Do
comber, the landlord prom
ised to give the key to the
apartment to Barbara's
brother on Dec 1
"She said she wouldn’t
charge me for the two
weeks rent from the time I
signed the lease to the day
my brother got the toy,"
Barbara said.
On Dot' 1. Barbara's
brolhor was refused the
key, Burlrara was charged
for tho two weeks root for
November, and none of the
repairs or cleaning had
boon done
Barbara Is among those
who are victims of bad
business practices in rent
ing property. Many renters
are unfamiliar with the
Landlord-Tenant Act and
the rights of renters and
landlords. As a result,
some renters, and oven
landlords, tan be taken ad
vantage of in rental situa
tions
The University's Oregon
Student Interest Research
Croup set up the Renter's
Hotline for the state of Ore
gon to give information on
renters' options when they
are in situations like Bertra
m's.
"You have to got every
thing in writing,” said
Amy Clements, director of
the Renter's Hotline. “Even
though verbal promises are
valid in court, it doesn't
promise that you’ll win.
You need written docu
mentation "
Barbara called the Rent
er's Hotline for help. Sho
was advised to write to her
landlord and make her re
quests Barbara wrote to
the woman and put into
writing all of the promises
the landlord had made to
her. She demanded that
these lie met.
Barbara's apartment is a
part of an association of
townhouses. When sho
went to the association
with her problems, a man
from the association suid
the landlord had never dis
cussed the promises or
made any commitments to
do any work on the apart
ment
"My landlady wrote me
two letters and tailed me
twice saying I was the irre
sponsible one.” Barbara
said. "Shi! said I signed a
lease saying everything
was OK. If l didn't like it
*Even though
verbal promises
are valid In
court, It doesn’t
promise that
you’ll win.’
— Amy Clements,
director of the Renter 's
Hotline.
she’d give me 30 days no
tice."
Barbara cleaned the car
pets herself and deducted
the cost from the rent, u
recommendation from the
Renter's Hotline.
Most problems in the liu
gene-Springfield area relate
to habitability and unfair
reductions of deposits, said
Renter's Hotline Consumer
Affairs Coordinator Ruby
Bronne.
