Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Oregon

I have given the renter a 60 day notice to terminate the rent agreement, he owes $1200.00 in back rent with another $800.00 due on the 15th of Sept. 2014,

If he pays anything on the rent prior to the 60 day notice would this void the 60 day notice?

Probably not. A 60-day notice is usually given without cause, so there is no ability to cure. Of course, if you put something in your notice that made it look like payment of rent would allow the lease to continue, then you might have a hard time evicting your tenant if he does pay.

Also, you do not need to give him a 60-day notice if he hasn't paid rent. You can give him a 72-hour notice instead. Talk with an attorney or at the very least get an Oregon 72-hour notice form from Stevens-Ness.
