Question: A contractor has been buying homes in the community, placing them on Storage Agreement and flipping after improvements. Can a park owner deny a contractor a storage agreement based on a previous bad track-record in the community - shoddy improvements, bad dealings with new purchasers etc. Are there any grounds to deny a contractor a storage agreement? Can the park owner increase the storage fee during the contract and if so with how much notice? If the property is not being maintained, how does the park owner terminate the storage agreement?
Answer: Storage agreements are not specifically defined under ORS 90.100 in the Landlord-Tenant Act. They are addressed in ORS 90.425 and 90.675, the abandonment statutes that pertain to the storage of a tenants personal or real property (respectively).
