  Alexa C. asked:

  Does anyone have knowledge of service animals? I met someone today who has been given an eviction notice, he has 23 days left. Wife has a doctor's prescription for a service dog, which she now has because her mom passed away, leaving her the dog. They have all paperwork on the dog, etc. I do not feel that the landowner (they are in the process of buying a mobile home that is in a mobile home park) has a leg to stand on. Any ideas or suggestions on who to contact? Something in me just wants to help them out.

  It looks like the above posts have already addressed that a service animal and a companion pet are two different things. Oregon law requires that LL's make "reasonable accommodations" for both types of pets if someone has a medical need. There are many other reasonable accommodations, such as having a marked parking spot near the tenant's door if they have trouble ambulating, or making structural changes if someone needs a wheelchair ramp, etc. If the tenant is low income, they can get assistance from Oregon Law Center@503-397-1628. Tenant can also get self help material at www.oregonlawhelp.org. If they are not low income, Oregon Law Center can still help them find an attorney who handles this type of law. An eviction notice GENERALLY doesn't mean a person has to move at the end of the period of time given. Only a judge can make someone have to move. The LL must begin with the notice, and if the tenant hasn't moved by the end of the time period given, they file a request with the court, the tenant gets notice of this, and a court date is set. It is better to resolve it first, as you don't want a court eviction on your record. Often the notices are faulty and the LL doesn't have a viable case. If the tenant is in the right, the courts order the LL to pay all the attorney fees and certain damages to the tenant and his/her attorney.
