Question: We have a 91 year old tenant who is bedridden, and his daughter who is 66 years old, is his caretaker. He is not coherent. Meanwhile, she continually lets people stay at the residence past the 14 day limit in our rules. The space is not maintained. We sent a 30 day notice in August for unauthorized residents. Unfortunately, the caretaker continues to let in more unauthorized residents, some of whom are suspected of burglaries in the park and the residents are very concerned about their safety and are demanding we evict. The caretaker's guests routinely break the rules. I have contacted the county "Adult and Senior Services". They have not been helpful. The residents want something to be done. I hate the thought of evicting a 91-year old man, just to get rid of his daughter.

Question: We are wondering whether to use monthly or weekly rental agreements with RV tenants? We prefer the stability of longer-term tenants, but sometimes get a few bad apples who don't work out and then find ourselves stuck with them until we can give a no-cause eviction notice. Any recommendations?

Question. What do you do when you discover a resident has filed for bankruptcy after you have given them a 72 hour notice for nonpayment of rent? Is the process different if you give them a 30-day notice for cleaning up their space and you discover that they have filed bankruptcy?

Question One: If a community is a legal 55+ park, is it still subject to the federal and state laws prohibiting discrimination against children?

Question Two: If the current rules in a family community appear to be discriminatory towards children -- e.g. they place restrictions that have a discriminatory impact on children or persons with children (e.g. curfew on children, even if it's intended to be for their own safety) can the landlord unilaterally amend the rules, or does he/she need to go through the formal rule change process outlined in the ORS 90.610?

Today's professional community managers are required to create and implement a positive resident relations program, increase resident retention, concentrate on marketing and sales, resolve resident disputes, enhance the value of the community, maintain the physical asset, stay current with training and certification, and adhere to a budget. And that is only for starters.
