Prospec- tive purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trust- ee’s sale.

A foreclosure sale is scheduled for July 20, 2021, at the hour of 11:00 A.M., at the Front Steps of the Hood River County Courthouse, 309 E State St, Hood River, OR 97031, County of Hood River, Oregon, County of Hood Riv- er, State of Oregon. The date of this sale may be postponed. Unless the lender that is foreclosing on this property is paid before the sale date, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. After the sale, the n e w o w n e r i s re - q u i re d t o p ro v i d e you with contact in- formation and notice that the sale took place. The following in- formation applies to you only if you are a bona fide tenant oc- cupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this proper- ty or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant. If the foreclosure sale goes through, the new owner will have the right to require you to move out. Before the new owner can require you to move, the new owner must pro- vide you with written notice that specifies the date by which you must move out. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the new owner can have the sheriff re m o v e y o u f ro m the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. PROTECTION FROM EVICTION IF YOU ARE A BONA FIDE TENANT OCCUPY- ING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THIS PROPERTY AFTER THE FORE- CLOSURE SALE FOR: • 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NO- TICE, IF YOU HAVE A FIXED TERM LEASE; OR • AT L E A S T 3 0 D AY S F R O M T H E D AT E Y O U A R E GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NO- TICE, IF YOU HAVE A MONTH-TO-MONTH OR WEEK-TO-WEEK R E N TA L A G R E E - MENT. If the new owner wants to move in and use this property as a primary residence, the new owner can give you written no- tice and require you to move out after 30 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. You must be pro- vided with at least 30 days written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the bor- rower (property own- er) or a child, spouse or parent of the bor- rower, and whose rental agreement: • Is the result of an arm’s-length transaction; • R e q u i re s t h e payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is re- duced or subsidized d u e t o a f e d e ra l , state or local subsi- dy; and • Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FORECLO- SURE SALE: RENT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY R E N T TO YO U R LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD OR UNTIL A COURT TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE. SECURITY DE- POSIT You may apply your security de- posit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you w a n t t o s u b t ra c t the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current land- lord. If you do this, you must do so be- fore the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE Th e n e w o w n e r that buys this prop- erty at the foreclo- s u re s a l e m a y b e willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 90 days or at the end of your fixed term lease. After the sale, you should receive a written notice in- forming you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner ac- cepts rent from you, signs a new residen- tial rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the fore- closure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Other- wise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsi- ble for maintaining the property on your behalf; and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. Th e n e w o w n e r may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 90 days or before your fixed term lease expires. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before mak- ing any decisions regarding your ten- ancy.
