Non Payment of Rent

Question: Landlord sent a 10-day nonpayment of rent notice to a resident.  The night before filing the FED the landlord called the resident to remind them to pay - hoping to resolve it before filing and paying the filing fee.  Landlord did not hear back from the resident, so he filed the FED and paid the filing fee of $143.00.  Several days later the resident shows up at the park office and offers to pay the rent.  Landlord refused to accept the rent tender since the resident would not also pay the filing fee.  Can the landlord decline the rent tender after filing the FED if the resident refuses to pay the filing fee? What happens in court?

Holding. In late July 2022, the Oregon Supreme Court issued its ruling in Hickey v. Scott, 370 Or 97 (2022) that addressed the application of ORS 90.394(3).[1] The Court ruled that when issuing a termination notice for nonpayment of rent, the landlord must specify the “correct amount due to cure the default.” Hickey, 370 Or at 101. If the court determines that the tenant owes a lower amount than the amount specified in the notice, the court must dismiss the FED.

Question:  We had a resident that we entered into a stipulated judgment agreement with on March 6, 2020.  This was prior to tenants having the ability to claim financial hardship or having the Moratorium in place. They paid 2 payments but stopped paying the terms of the agreement as well as not paying their current rent payments. Are they protected under the financial hardship provisions of the Moratorium? Are we required to send them the Declaration of Financial Hardship? Can we file an Affidavit of Non-compliance due to the resident not complying with the stipulated agreement? 

Question. A resident recently moved out of state.  The landlord wants to mail a non-payment of rent notice, and would like proof that the notice was received by the resident.  Can the landlord mail the notice as a "Certificate of Mailing"?
