RHA Oregon President John Sage

(continued on page 16)

Well, so here we are already in the month of February. In Oregon that means that we are only a few days away from the start of the Legislative short Session. In the past the short session was used for budget issues and tweaks to existing laws. However, this session looks to be quite different. Laws affecting land use, minimum wage, rent control and inclusionary zoning are on the horizon. Our Legislature could make some decisions that, in my opinion, in the long run, would be some pretty big mistakes. The best way to not make a mistake is to make sure everyone has all the facts. We, the small landlords of Portland, need to set the record straight on three very important issues: evictions, lack of housing, and rents.

First, small landlords don’t want to evict anyone, but it sometimes happens for the good of the community. The Oregon law is 30 days, which to neighbors of a bad actor seems like an eternity. Portland’s change to 90 days does not solve the housing problem, and will only draw out the inevitable with potentially damaging results for other renters. Understand that we do not evict because we want to – when we do so it is because we have to. This is not something that we want the Legislature to implement state wide.

Second, Portland is the “It” City in America right now. People are moving here in droves, but our City has zero plans for development of more housing. The state did in fact commit to investing in affordable housing this past session, but what has the city done? Sadly today, it is easier to appease the vocal minority by making landlords the enemy, which serves no one well.

81% of Rental Housing Alliance Oregon member landlords have less than 10 units to rent. If you think we are in a backroom somewhere smoking cigars and counting money, you are wrong. We are the 1,800+ Mom-and-Pop landlords succeeding (though often unappreciated) in fulfilling much of the City’s housing demands. Profit is hard to come by, we pay more than our fair share in local, state and federal property taxes, business and income taxes, and license fees.

Third, economics really are at play here. Rents follow a market. Reduce the amount of available units to an aggressively growing population and rents increase simply based on supply and demand. New Band-Aid ordinances won’t stabilize rents - more supply will.

Small landlords are small business people. We fix our own roofs, repair our buildings ourselves, and would like nothing more than to have the ability to grow. We just want to keep doing what we do best—put people into affordable long-term housing. We are a big part of the solution.

We need to keep asking questions and watching what is going on with

Paid Sick LeaveRequires most employers in the state having 10 or more employees to implement a sick time policy allowing an employee to earn, accrue, donate or use up to 40 hours of paid sick time per year. The threshold is 6 employees in the Portland area.

Ban the BoxEstablishes an unlawful employment practice for an employer to ask about an applicant’s conviction history on a job application (no box that you check if you have a conviction) or prior to an interview.

Wage Conversations / Pay EquityProtects employees who inquire about, discuss, or disclose information about their wage or the wage of another employee.

Right to TryPermits a terminally ill Oregon patient to have access to an experimental drug after it has passed through Phase 1 of a clinical trial (which is the initial trial testing where a drug is given to a small group of people to evaluate its safety and side effects) but has not been FDA approved.

No SmokingBan on use of electronic cigarettes expanded to all those places cigarette smoking is not allowed (public spaces including job, bar, restaurant, airport and mall).

Pumping GasIf you are in an Oregon county with fewer than 40,000 residents, you can pump your own gas between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am. These counties currently qualify:

Yikes!....The WorriesThe 2016 short session starts February 1st and is predicted to be the staging area for trouble in the coming years.

Senate President Peter Courtney warned attendees at the Oregon Leadership Summit in December that “Oregon is on the verge of its own civil war”. The issues set to cause sides to be chosen and battles to be waged are a gigantic corporate tax rate hike and an increase in the state’s minimum wage. Both are expected on the November Ballot, but many predict they are an integral part of the session conversation/negotiations.

It is predicted the campaigns in opposition and support of the corporate tax issue will spend $30 million each and cause a divide between businesses and the unions with which they must work. The minimum wage issue is expected to drive a wedge between rural and urban areas.

The thought is that the legislature will step in and try to negotiate both issues during session thus avoiding expensive, messy, and incendiary ballot measure campaigns. But can the legislature be expected to come to agreement on that which will certainly divide Oregonians?

Senator Courtney worries fighting over the two issues will irreparably damage the Oregon legislature, political parties and people for quite some time.

Other contentious issues that may come up:

• Affordable housing (including discussions of pricing and rent controls) and homelessness in general• Changes to marijuana statutes• Higher education cost controls• Local government preemptions (inclusionary zoning/rent control & minimum wage)• PERS shortfall – with the Oregon Supreme Court striking down other legislatively approved cost saving reforms, time is money and many think this cannot wait until 2017• Fuels standards & transportation package – I think we will actually see this set off until 2017, but would not be surprised to see “task forces” established to deal with aspects• Agency questions – both the Department of Energy and the Department of Human Services are under fire for questionable (even illegal) activities.


We manage properties for homeowners with many unique circumstances but inheritance is one of the most common reasons why people choose to rent out a home. This is the story of a typical case.

The InheritanceJayne was in her late 40’s when her grandmother died. When Jayne met with the attorney to review the estate issues he gave Jayne the keys to the house her grandmother had lived in for forty years and a copy of the property deed. This was something she had never expected. She had decided early in her career not to invest in real estate. She wanted nothing to do with the property taxes and maintenance headaches, and now she had this old house to contend with.

She asked the attorney what others have done with houses they inherited.

The attorney frankly told her that she could sell it, rent it or donate it to a charity, but he advised Jayne not to make any decisions until she walked through it first. “It was not a bad investment,” he said, “It’s insured, owned free and clear, property taxes are current and it’s well maintained, you can’t ask for much more than that.”

The DecisionHer grandmother had lived in an older one level brick house. It was 1800 square feet with three bedrooms

and two bathrooms, a two car garage and a small yard. She had already begun feeling sentimental about it during the estate sale when a young man approached her with a business card. He introduced himself as the neighborhood realtor and

gave his condolences about her grandmother’s passing before swiftly changing the subject to ask her if she had put the house on the market yet.

Jayne was taken aback. This guy was rude and pushy and she wanted to get rid of him. Purely in reaction to his offensive demeanor Jayne told him with confidence that she had already decided to keep it as a rental. That was how she made her decision.

But she knew nothing about being a landlord. She decided to start by consulting the attorney to first understand the laws involved.

He sensed she might be in over her head during the conversation, “You may want to hire a property manager to help you,” he suggested.

Jayne, a successful businesswoman, saw no reason why she couldn’t handle it herself.

Renting the HouseOnce Jane made up her mind, she toured other house rentals in the area in person and on the internet to get a sense for market rents and conditions. Based on her research she decided to upgrade the house with more modern colors and appliances. Since the carpets were in good condition she just had those cleaned. She also received a referral from a friend for a good handyman to make some minor repairs.

Once the place was up to par Jayne placed an ad online and within five minutes started receiving calls about the house. A few roommates wanted to see the house that night. She didn’t even have any application forms!! She quickly printed out a form she found online but when they came she wished she didn’t have any to give them. They were five college students from the school down the street. One of them quickly asked her what application screening criteria she used. Another wanted to see the lease ahead of time. She hadn’t printed anything other than the forms out yet so she asked if she could e-mail it to them the next day. They didn’t mind. They liked the house so much they filled out the forms

Inherit A House? How To Rent It Out. By Cliff Hockley, President Bluestone & Hockley Real Estate Services



right there to be the first ones in line.

Reviewing the applications after they left Jayne noticed that only two of the students had any real employment history and two never had any jobs at all. She doubted that these optimistic students could afford the rent for long. However, she remembered the attorney’s warning about the rules preventing tenant discrimination and called her local landlord association for help.

She had found the application form through the landlord association website and was curious what other resources they could offer. She found the regional not-for-profit organization had plenty of good information. In addition to sponsoring monthly educational dinner meetings they had a newsletter providing tips for improving property management, sponsored annual training seminars, and had an extensive mentor and vendor referral program.

From them she got linked to a credit checking company and discovered that the roommates were not qualified to rent the house. She learned what screening criteria she could legally use and was able to get the correct rental agreements just in time for the next applicant to pass all her screening criteria.

Problems and SolutionsShe thought she found the perfect tenants, young, up and coming, and eager to start their family. Within a year they had their first baby. They sent Jayne the birth announcement and she was so proud she had offered them their first home. But after 24 months she noticed the rent coming later and later and then not at all. The husband said they had struggled since his wife quit work after having their son. Jayne sympathized for a while but eventually was forced to hire an attorney to evict them. They left a filthy home, with some damages, which her handyman charged her $4,000 to fix. Only later did she realize his limitations included plumbing and he had overcharged her in attempt to fix something he had little experience with. Just preparing the house for her second tenant turn was so painful that Jayne considered selling it after all.

Then Jayne realized that she had something in common

with her handyman. She had her strengths and limitations. She was at the height of her career. Her employer had just offered her a national account that would come with a boost in pay and lots of travel. She loved to travel. She loved hotels. She loved her little high rise apartment where she didn’t need to worry about plumbing and landscaping. Wasn’t that the reason why she didn’t want real estate to begin with?She also loved the gift her grandmother had given her and decided to rethink her approach. She interviewed a series of property managers and decided that their expertise was worth the cost to take care of her home. After five years of renting out her grandmother’s home hassle free she decided to refinance it and bought a four-plex with the equity. Her property manager also took over management of that property.

Over a period of 20 years she managed to increase her portfolio to 20 units (her goal), and her cash flow to $7,000 a month which combined with her savings, healthy 401K and social security benefits was enough for her to retire on and travel for pleasure this time.

Dear Maintenance Men:I own a small apartment building with an average amount of landscaping around the property. I have a garden service that comes each week; they cut and edge and do what their supposed to do, I think, although they don’t spent a lot of time at the property. What should I expect from my landscapers or garden service?John

Dear John:We have a minimum list of items that must be completed at a property. If these items are skipped or ignored, we feel the property will suffer. On a weekly basis, we expect the garden service to provide the following:

1. Cut the grass.2. Edge the grass.3. Pull out weeds between the sidewalk cracks, walk around the building, including the alley.4. Turn over the dirt in all the flowerbeds each week.5. Pick up any trash around the property.6. Broom, blow or hose down the walkways.7. Turn on the sprinkler lines, check for clogged heads, broken lines etc.8. Check that the timer is set properly. 9. Cut, trim and thin any shrubs or bushes.10. Maintain communication with the owner about problems or improvements

The above list takes time, half hour minimum at a small property. If your landscape gardener completed the list on a weekly basis, you could very well have the best-looking property on the block! Which means higher rents … if you add color flowers … even higher rents!

Finding a landscape gardener to do above list consistently is not easy. Ask your local apartment association for recommendations or look in your neighborhood or city for a property with outstanding landscaping and ask who the gardener is. Have him give you a quote according to your “list”. Keep in mind a landscape company or gardener who give the above service will charge more than a “blow

and go” gardener, however your property will reflect their above average service.

Dear Maintenance Men:My building gets hit by graffiti on a regular basis. How can I stop this curse? Jim

Dear Jim:We understand. Our company maintains several properties that attract graffiti like a magnet. There are several solutions that may help.

1. Painting over graffiti as quickly as possible will help deter future vandalism. We recommend painting over the same day or within 24 hours of the graffiti appearing on your property. Graffiti vandals like to advertise. By removing the graffiti quickly, the less recognition the vandals will receive, thus making your building less attractive to graffiti taggers.2. Install lighting in areas prone to graffiti. Motion activated lights also work well to deter vandals. If you have a sense of humor, install motion activated water sprinklers. 3. Planting vines or bushes along a wall or the side of the building is a good long-term solution. As the landscape grows, it will make it more difficult to graffiti your walls.

Dear Maintenance Men:I have an opportunity to buy a small power snake for cleaning out kitchen & bathroom drains. At the rate my tenants block their drains it should pay for its self in no time. Is this a good idea?Dale

Dear Dale:We understand that almost any excuse is a good reason to buy a power tool. But… most bathroom and kitchen drains can be cleared with a three-foot hand snake. The tub or shower will typically have a hair stoppage just past the tub shoe and the bathroom sink will have a toothpaste and hair in the trap before the wall. The kitchen

The Rental Housing Alliance Oregon is a group of rental housing owners and managers in the state of Oregon who have joined together for the purposes of:

• Providing information to improve the knowledge of rental owners and managers.

• Enhancing the reputation of “landlords” by promoting professional practices.

• Assisting local public officials on various community endeavors relating to public or private housing.

The RHAOregon Mission

As housing providers, you should know that federal, state, and local fair housing laws make it illegal for housing developers, landlords, Realtors, homeowners associations, shelters, (etc.) to deny housing to families with children or to place unreasonable restrictions

on them. Of all the alleged acts of discrimination each year, those made on the basis of familial status is among the most common of all the protected classes – this is true nationwide, as well as here in Oregon.

Following is a reprint of a media release from HUD that aims to inform parents of their right to buy, rent, and live in the home of their choice regardless of

whether or not there are children in the home. If children live in your home, obviously, you have these same rights as well. We encourage you to review these familial status rights from the lens of both the housing consumer (which is the tone of this media release), as well as your responsibilities under the law as housing providers.

1. You Cannot Be Denied Housing Because You Have a Child Although it has been illegal for 20 years, many housing developments and apartment buildings still have rules prohibiting families with children or families expecting a child. With the exception of senior housing and small properties where the owner resides <NOTE: The small property

sink will typically be stopped on the garbage disposal side because of improper usage of the disposer. If both sides of the kitchen sink are blocked, then it may be necessary to use the power snake.

Power snakes can be very dangerous. Most operate with a ¼ to ½ horse motor, which packs quite a punch, especially if your finger or arm gets caught! If you buy this snake, we highly recommend that you get some training on your machine. Power drain cleaning is very much an “art” when done well. Knowing when you hit the stoppages and when the snake is snagged comes with experience. A broken snake cable in your drain system will be far more expensive than simply calling an experienced plumber when needed. Another thought is; most kitchen stoppages are caused by grease. Your snake will only temporarily clear the stoppage. Getting a company to “Hydro-Jet” your drains every year may help cure your chronic grease stoppages.

exemption, known as ‘the Mrs. Murphy’s Exemption, is not valid in Oregon. Oregon fair housing laws provide greater protection by effectively nullifying this exemption.>, such provisions are always illegal. HUD takes these matters seriously and will take action when it sees housing developments keep parents out.

For example, last year a parent reported that an apartment building in Highwood, Illinois, refused to rent to her because of her child. The parent wished to remain anonymous, so a local fair housing organization sent testers to the property to see if they treated families with children different from applicants without children. The tests showed that the property owner discouraged families with children from renting apartments and informed parents that the units were for single people. The fair housing organization filed a complaint with HUD. After a thorough investigation, HUD charged the owners with discrimination against families with children.

2. You Cannot Be Evicted From Housing Because You Have a Child While the birth of a child is usually a time for celebration, some landlords feel it is also the time for new parents to find another place to live. Though such actions are illegal, many facilities evict parents because they are expecting or have given birth to, adopted, or obtained custody of a child.

In one recent case, Shelia Brown was living in Summer Place Apartments in Las Vegas, Nevada when she obtained custody of her daughter. Less than a month later, the apartment manager told her to find a new place to live, because children were not allowed on the property. Ms. Brown filed a complaint with HUD, whose investigation uncovered that the management had forced other tenants to leave when they were pregnant or obtained custody of their children. In January 2008, Summer Place agreed to pay $75,000 to Ms. Brown and other families who were mistreated.

3. Families Cannot Be Restricted to One Area of a Building or Complex Some housing complexes allow families but restrict them to lower floors or to certain areas of the property. Both restrictions are illegal.

Sherri McLathian wanted to find an affordable home in a good school district for her two children. She thought she located an ideal townhouse in a new development called Victorian Village in Gurnee, Illinois. When she inquired about buying the homes, the sales person informed her that her children were not wanted in the neighborhood and would be the only ones there. The saleswoman then informed Ms. McLathian that no town homes were available. Ms. McLathian filed a complaint with the State of Illinois, which handled the case under an agreement with HUD and negotiated a $12,000 settlement for Ms. McLathian.

4. Rules Cannot Unfairly Target Children Many parents are unaware that it is illegal for landlords to make rules specifically against children. For example, a landlord cannot forbid children from a common area that adults are allowed to use.

Recently, six families in St. Louis settled complaints against Ridgecrest Apartments for overly restrictive rules against children. The landlord had required anyone under the age of 18 to be supervised anytime they were outside of their apartments. The rule was so strict that teenagers were not allowed to talk to their friends in the hallway without a parent present. In December 2007, the owners and mangers of Ridgecrest agreed to a $170,000 settlement to compensate the families and create an after-school program for children on the property.

5. Advertisements Cannot State That Children Are Not Wanted Finally, no property, other than seniors-only housing, is allowed to advertise that it is restricted to adults or that it will not allow children.

Lolita Lindo was searching for an apartment for herself and her 10-year old son because her landlord had recently raised the rent by a few hundred dollars a month. She saw

a “For Rent” sign on a grey flagstone property in her neighborhood that she thought would be perfect. The sign read “For Rent for two persons, Apartment, Two Bedroom, No kids...” Ms. Lindo filed a complaint with HUD and in December 2007, a judge ordered the owner to pay her $20,000.
