Notice of termination

Under ORS 90.396(1), the landlord terminates your rental agreement based on the specific conduct described below. The ground checked must match the facts. This notice does not offer a right to cure the selected conduct.

☐ Substantial personal injury or serious threat: You or a person under your control inflicted substantial personal injury on, or seriously threatened to inflict it on, a person on the premises other than you. ORS 90.396(1)(a).

☐ Reckless endangerment: You or a person under your control recklessly created a serious risk of substantial personal injury to a person on the premises other than you. ORS 90.396(1)(b).

☐ Intentional substantial damage: You or a person under your control intentionally inflicted substantial damage on the premises. ORS 90.396(1)(d).

☐ Material false criminal-conviction information: Within the past year, you intentionally gave substantial false information about your own criminal conviction on the tenancy application.

Identify the application statement, actual conviction information, and materiality facts below. ORS 90.396(1)(e)(A)-(C).
