Protected Early Lease-Termination Notice - Oregon

PROTECTED EARLY LEASE-TERMINATION NOTICE

State: Oregon

Safety first. Do not use an account, device, mailing address, or delivery method the adverse person can monitor. Call emergency services if there is immediate danger. This notice requests only information needed for the statutory route; do not add a detailed history of abuse.

1. Tenant, Landlord, and Lease

2. Notice of Protected Termination

I notify the Landlord that I am using the protected early-termination route described in Section 10. I or a person covered through me meets the state-specific eligibility rule, and I reasonably request release from future obligations as provided by that rule.

I am not providing a perpetrator's name or incident narrative in this notice. Any state-required identifying or incident information appears only in the permitted supporting document and is redacted or limited as Section 10 directs.

3. Date and Deadline Calculator

Do not use the requested date until Section 10 has been applied to the actual delivery method, rent interval, and documentation date.

4. Supporting Document

Attach only a document allowed by Section 10:

☐ Protection / no-contact order
☐ Law-enforcement or court record
☐ Qualified-third-party document
☐ Health-care or victim-services document expressly allowed by state law
☐ Other state-enumerated document: [________________________________]

Document date: [__/__/____]

Redactions completed: ☐ Yes ☐ Not permitted/needed

No medical record, diagnosis, therapy notes, full police file, or extra incident narrative is included unless the state-specific rule expressly requires it and counsel confirms the scope.

5. Vacancy, Rent, Deposit, and Property

I will surrender possession as required by the state route. I request a written ledger showing:

• rent through the lawful termination or release date;
• credits and prepaid rent;
• any security-deposit accounting;
• separately identified pre-termination balances; and
• no lease-break fee or future rent beyond what the state route permits.

Personal property left behind:

☐ None expected
☐ Instructions attached
☐ State-specific property instructions in Section 10 apply

6. Cotenants, Occupants, and Guarantors

Other tenants / occupants: [________________________________]

Guarantor, if any: [________________________________]

This notice does not guess whether another tenant, occupant, or guarantor is released. Apply the exact state rule and obtain a written account of who remains liable. Do not send this notice to an adverse cotenant unless the state rule or a court requires it and a safety plan is in place.

7. Safe Communications and Forwarding Address

Safe contact method:

☐ Email: [________________________________]
☐ Phone / text: [________________________________]
☐ Advocate or attorney: [________________________________]
☐ Mail to safe address: [________________________________]

Forwarding-address choice:

☐ Use the safe address above only for deposit/accounting mail.
☐ I will provide a forwarding address later.
☐ Send statutory financial notices through my attorney/advocate.
☐ Do not disclose my relocation address to any cotenant, occupant, adverse party, reference caller, or third party except with my written consent or as law requires.

8. Confidential Handling Request

Mark this notice and every attachment CONFIDENTIAL — RESTRICTED ACCESS. Limit access to personnel who must process the request. Do not place protected information in ordinary maintenance notes, tenant-screening comments, shared databases, or reference responses.

Return or securely destroy excess copies after the retention period required by law or counsel. These instructions supplement, and do not narrow, any mandatory state confidentiality rule.

9. Delivery Record

Method used:

☐ Hand delivery
☐ First-class mail
☐ Certified or tracked mail
☐ State-authorized electronic method
☐ Court-directed or other method: [________________________________]

Delivered to: [________________________________]

Delivery address / account: [________________________________]

Tracking, witness, receipt, or screenshot retained: ☐ Yes

10. Oregon Route — ORS § 90.453

This route covers a tenant who is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, bias crime, or stalking. At the tenant's request, immediate family members who are not perpetrators may also be released if named in the notice.

Give at least 14 days' written notice, specify the release date, and attach verification: a qualifying protective order, police report, conviction, or substantially prescribed qualified-third-party statement.

If relying on an incident rather than a current protection order, the incident must generally be within 90 days before notice. Time during which the perpetrator was incarcerated or lived more than 100 miles from the victim's home does not count toward that 90-day period.

The released tenant is responsible for rent only through the release date and may not be charged a lease-break fee. Tenants not listed for release remain responsible under the rental agreement.

11. Tenant Signature

I certify that the statements I made in this notice are true to the best of my knowledge. I understand that the attached documentation and state-specific route control the effective date and financial result.

Tenant signature: ________________________________

Printed name: [________________________________]

Date: [__/__/____]
