Here’s a rundown of the changes:  \nNew Forms  \nORHA Form \\# 5 Notice of Termination – First-Year Tenancies  \nThis form has changed a little, but with a new heading, reminds landlords that this option for termination without cause now only applies to month-to-month tenancies of less than one year. Unless the notice is effectively served prior to the end of the first year of tenancy, landlords may only terminate a tenancy for cause or for a qualifying landlord reason. We have left the time option boxes intact as many month-to-month tenancies, even those within their first year, mandate different notification periods. For example, subsidized housing tenants are entitled to a minimum 60-day notice of termination and the notice must expire at the end of a calendar month. In some cities, like Bend, Milwaukee and Portland, termination time frames are 90 days, regardless of length of tenancy. Remember, first year of tenancy includes all periods during which any of the tenants has resided in the dwelling unit for less than one year, so if a new tenant was added at some point, the tenancy clock resets and the tenancy is considered to be in its first year.  \nORHA Form \\#5A – Notice of Termination – Qualifying Landlord Reason  \nAfter the first year of occupancy, the landlord may only terminate a tenancy (month-to-month or fixed-term) for cause or with 90-days’ written notice for one of four Qualifying Landlord Reasons: 1) The landlord intends to demolish the unit or convert it to a use other than residential use within a reasonable time; 2) The landlord intends to undertake repairs or renovations to the unit within a reasonable time and the unit is unsafe or unfit for occupancy, or will be unsafe or unfit for occupancy during repairs or renovations; 3) The landlord intends for the landlord or a member of the landlord’s immediate family to occupy the unit as a primary residence, and the landlord does not own a comparable unit in the same building that is available for occupancy; 4) The landlord is selling the property, and has accepted an offer to purchase the unit separately from any other unit from a person who intends in good faith to occupy the unit as their primary residence. The landlord must provide the notice and written evidence of the offer to purchase the unit to the tenant not more than 120 days after accepting the offer to purchase. If terminating a tenancy under the exception, at the time the notice is delivered, the landlord must pay a relocation fee equivalent to one months’ periodic rent, unless exempt. Landlords with an ownership interest in four or fewer residential dwelling units are exempt from payment of the relocation fee.  \nORHA Form \\#5B-Notice of Non-Renewal of Lease  \nFirst year: Landlords may serve a notice of non-renewal of lease to a tenant with 30-days’written notice, but only if the ending date of the fixed-term falls within the first year of occupancy. Remember, regardless of length of tenancy, proscribed notice periods may be longer in certain local jurisdictions or in subsidized housing. Notice of nonrenewal of lease within the first year of occupancy for a lease of less than one year may be served prior to the specified ending date for the fixed term, or 30 days prior to the date designated in the notice for the termination of the tenancy, whichever is later.  \nThree Strikes: A landlord may also terminate a lease with 90-days’ written notice if the tenant has committed three or more lease violations, including non-payment of rent, within the calendar year preceding service of the notice.
