Chapter 90 of the Oregon Revised Statutes deals with residential landlords and tenants. Specifically, 90.320 deals with the landlord’s responsibility to maintain the premises. There are other provisions for repairs, installations, and other things that concern the tenant’s safety, such as the requirement of a carbon monoxide alarm (90.316 ORS). If you or someone you love was injured because of a dangerous condition at an apartment or other rented property, we encourage you to contact a Portland premises liability attorney at Paulson Coletti.

“A landlord shall at all times during the tenancy maintain the dwelling unit in a habitable condition.”
The statutes go on to list various things that could make a dwelling uninhabitable, including:
In addition to landlord responsibilities, it’s important to consider that homeowners may also be held liable for injuries caused by unsafe conditions on their property. If you were injured in a similar circumstance, you may want to review claims related to Homeowner Liability.
If the injury was caused by improper construction or defective maintenance, it could also fall under Improper Construction, and you may be entitled to compensation.
“Most cases settle, but each of our cases is prepared as if it’s going to trial. The insurance companies know it and so do the defense lawyers defending them. That’s why we get such great results for our clients.”
