So, you found just the apartment?Have you considered how SAFE your new home is?Use this easy checklist to make sure your new place is FIRESAFE!

HOME FIRE SAFETY CHECKLISTMore fires and fire deaths occur in off-campus rental housing than any other form of college housing. Most of these fires could have been prevented had residents taken a few minutes to make their place fire safe and then remained vigilant thereafter.Please use this inspection form and go on a hunt for home hazards in your place TODAY!p Does EVERY room you use for overnight sleeping have an

operable window that is large enough for you to use for emergency escape in case of fire? Windows should be at least 24" tall by 20" wide and no more than 44" from your bedroom floor. NEVER sleep in a room without one — IT MAY BE YOUR ONLY WAY OUT!!

p Check your smoke alarms. You should have at least one working smoke alarm outside each sleeping area. You should also install a smoke alarm inside each bedroom. Never disable your smoke alarms for any reason. Test your alarms every month. Replace your batteries at least once a year (unless they are 10-year-life batteries). If you replace the batteries and your smoke alarm still doesn’t work, notify the landlord or property manager immediately.*As of January 1, 2002, all rental properties are required to be equipped with smoke alarms that meet the following:– Ionization alarms: Shall be equipped with a long life

battery and hush feature– Photoelectric alarms: Regular 9-volt battery

(hush feature not required)– Hard-wired alarm: Regular 9-volt battery back-up (hush

feature not required).If you believe your dwelling is NOT properly equipped, contact your landlord, property manager, or the Corvallis Fire Department at 766-6961.

p Find the location of your nearest fire extinguisher. All apartment complexes are required to provide a fire extinguisher either inside the unit or outside but within approximately 75 feet travel distance. If you rent a house, you might ask the landlord to purchase one for the house; or you may want to invest in one yourself. If you ever have a small fire in your home, you’ll be glad you did. Take a minute to read the instructions before you need to use a fire extinguisher.

p Go over in your mind or with your roommates what you would do if a fire broke out at night while you were asleep. Practice your plan to include opening bed-room windows to ensure you could escape through them if need be. Decide on an outside meeting place. NEVER GO BACK INSIDE FOR ANY REASON.

p Unattended cooking is the leading cause of fires and fire injuries in this country. Make it a practice to NEVER leave cooking unattended, even for a minute. If you need to leave the kitchen while you are cooking:• Remove the pan from the hot burner • Turn the burner off • Place the pan on a cold element

If a small grease fire starts in a pan, smother the flames by carefully sliding a large lid (or a larger pan) over the pan, then turn the burner off. You can also use baking soda or a fire extinguisher from a safe distance.

p Careless use of candles are responsible for many fires and fire deaths. If you still choose to use real candles in the home, consider the following precautions:• Extinguish all candles when leaving the room or going to

sleep.• Keep candles well away from items that catch fire,

Christmas trees, decorations, clothing, curtains, etc..• Make sure candles are placed on a sturdy non-

combustible holder, such as a plate or tray, that will not tip over.

• Make sure candle holders are non-combustible and big enough to collect dripping wax.

• Do not use candles in places where they can be knocked over by children or pets.

p If you have small children in the home, keep matches and lighters out of their sight and reach at all times.

p Plug only one heat-producing appliance into an electrical outlet. Never override or bypass fuses or circuit breakers. Avoid running electrical cords across doorways or under carpets. Use fuse-protected power strips instead of extension cords.

p If there are smokers in your house, ensure they never smoke when drowsy, while drinking, or when in bed. Use sturdy, non-tip ash trays; and check for smoldering butts in furniture — especially after parties. Douse butts and ashes with water before discarding outside. Consider only smoking outside.

p If you use portable space heaters, always give them at least 3 feet of clearance all the way around. Turn off at night and while you are out. Portable heaters should always be plugged directly into a wall outlet, not into an extension cord. Make certain that nothing is pushed up against base-board heaters.

p If you use an electric blanket, always turn it off when you get up. Make certain its electrical cord is routed in a pro-tected manner and not strung through the metal springs where it could be damaged. Discard damaged blankets or those over 10 years old.

p Immediately report any unsafe condition to your landlord or property manager. Follow-up with written notification, and always keep a copy. If you experience difficulty getting these conditions corrected, you can contact the City of Corvallis’ Rental Housing Program at 766-6944. They may be able to assist through mediation or other means.

Please take time for fire safety. The life and personal property you save may be YOUR OWN! Think About It!

THINK IT OVER While you are looking for a place to live here in Cor-vallis, you have many factors to consider. It is important that you are content in your situation of course, and it is doubly important that you understand the obliga-tions of your landlord as well as the obligations that you have as a tenant. Before you sign a lease, make sure you understand your obligations. If you have questions about the obligations of your landlord, you can look them up in the Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 90 in Valley Library. The legal advising office is also available for free information and advice. You may avoid future conflicts by having an understanding of your tenant rights before you enter a rental agreement. Below is a list of helpful hints for students who are renters.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR Here is a brief list of things to check when you are looking at the apartment: l) Plumbing: Is there pressure in all the taps? Can you get a decent shower? Do you notice any water marks or mold? 2) Noise: Ask someone who lives there. How noisy is the floor? Could you sleep with a person typing upstairs at 3 a.m.? 3) Appliances: Do they all work? Are there any special instructions on how they work? 4) Heat: Can you regulate the thermostat control or does the landlord? Is there adequate insulation? 5) Others: How adequate are the locks on the doors and windows? Where will you park your vehicle? Of what quality are the furnishings?

THE CONTRACT Now that you are satisfied with the basics you should know something about the agreement you may choose to sign. A LEASE IS A CONTRACT. It may be oral or writ-ten. Oral leases are just as valid as written leases when made for a period of less than one year. They are all protected by law. There are basically two types of agree-ments: periodic and term. Periodic agreements are usu-ally monthly and can be terminated with 30 days written notice. Term agreements run for a set period of time.

BEFORE YOU SIGN Before signing, make sure you read EVERYTHING, especially the small print. Don’t get caught later for agreeing to something you didn’t read or didn’t under-stand. Ask your landlord any questions you might have. Make sure all promises are in the written agreement. (You can write changes on the lease yourself.)

SOME OBLIGATIONS OF OWNER AND TENANT According to Oregon laws the landlord must provide you with a residence that is “habitable.” To do so, the dwelling must have good (or working) plumbing, locks on the outside doors and windows, appliances that work, and it must be free from vermin. If you rent a place that fails to give you these things, you have several remedies. But first, see the ASOSU Attorney for advice on how to proceed. The tenant must notify the landlord in writing if the tenant will be away from home for more than 7 days.

SECURITY DEPOSITS You may be required to pay a security deposit. This deposit or fee is refundable unless clearly labeled “non-refundable.” A refundable security deposit can only be withheld by the landlord if you breach the lease. The landlord must identify, in writing, specifically how you broke the lease. Reasons for forfeiting your deposit may include: damage caused by the tenant or failure to leave the rental unit in satisfactory condition. The landlord may not charge you for damage incurred to the rental unit before you moved in. As defined in Oregon Revised Statute Chapter 90 and your lease, when you vacate your dwelling, you are obliged to leave it in satisfactory condition. If you do not, your landlord may withhold your security deposit. However, if your landlord does withhold this deposit he or she must provide you with a written account explain-ing their actions. If you do not receive this account or if you feel your deposit is being wrongly withheld, you can see the ASOSU Attorney for assistance.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION Before moving in, make a list assessing the condition of each room. For example, write “SW wall of bedroom – 3 nail holes.” Try to make this list a part of your lease. If you are unable to do so, provide your landlord with a dated copy of this list. Keep a copy for your records. When moving in, make an inventory of the furnish-ings provided by your landlord. On this list, comment as to the condition of each item. You should also send a dated copy of this list to your landlord, informing them of the damages. If the damage is extensive, i.e. a cigarette hole in the couch, take a picture of it. Someone who could testify for you should be in this picture.

Legal Tips for Renters


UTILITIES

Speak with your landlord and determine if he or she will establish utility services. Usually the tenant must arrange for the electricity and/or gas and/or oil company services. The landlord does provide access to water for apartments, but the tenant may pay for the service. The garbage service, too, is usually provided by the landlord. Remember, phone service establishes your credit rating, so pay your bills promptly.

RENT INCREASES

If you have signed a fixed-term lease, your rent may NOT be increased for the duration of that lease’s term. If you have signed a term lease for a year or so, and receive a rent increase notice in the mail, you are not obligated to respond to it. If you are threatened with eviction or some other bases following this refusal, see the ASOSU legal advisor. If the lease is a month-to-month tenancy, a 30-day notice in writing of a pending rent increase is the cor-rect legal procedure. A 30-day notice of rent increase in a month-to-month tenancy notifies the tenant that the present indefinite tenancy is being terminated 30 days hence and that a new month tenancy at a higher rental is being offered. So, since a lease, like any other contract, arises out of agreement (offer and acceptance) the tenant may accept the offer if the tenant wishes. The tenant may reject the offer if the tenant wishes, or the tenant may ignore the offer if the tenant wishes and move out 30 days later without written notice.

BREAKING A LEASE

As with any contract, a tenant can break a term lease. The tenant, though, will be responsible for the landlord’s damages. A landlord must reduce the damages by trying to rent out the place as soon as possible. This is called mitigating damages. If you must break your lease, try to find someone else to move in. If you do, the landlord will have no dam-ages and therefore, can not sue you. Try not to sublet the place, instead have the new person sign a new lease. If you must sublet, do so with the landlord’s written permission but realize you are still responsible under the lease. This means you will have to pay rent if the new person does not, and you will be responsible for any damage done by the sub-leasee. Obviously you are placed in a dangerous position when you sublease. If you rent on a month-to-month basis, you can move out after you give a written notice 30 days in advance to your landlord. The landlord can also give you a 30 day notice to move for no reason, if you are on a month-to-month lease. These notices can be given at any time dur-ing the month unless the lease provides otherwise.

EVICTION Your best protection against eviction is a good lease; one whose terms you understand and can perform. Actual eviction can only follow the failure of the ten-ant to comply with a major term of the lease. Common grounds for eviction are failure to pay rent, holding prop-erty beyond the terms of the lease, and major violations of house rules. To have a legal eviction, your landlord must serve you with a written complaint and you must be summoned to court for a trial. If you are served with an eviction notice and decide to move out rather than fight, the court will render a general judgment against you by default. You will be required to restore to the premises (which you have already done by moving out) and pay the premises (which you have already done by moving out) and pay the “costs and dis-bursements in the action.” This will probably amount to a small sum. Now a work on constructive eviction. At the risk of sounding repetitious, a lease is a mutual obligation, a con-tract between you and your landlord. Each of you gives something to the other, and gets something in return. If you breach a major item of your lease, the landlord can sue for eviction. If, however, the landlord violates his or her implied covenant for your peaceful enjoyment of the premises (by turning off water or heat, or by constant and unreasonable inspection or other harassment), then you should sue him or her for constructive eviction. If your situation seems to be serious enough to warrant such an action, see the ASOSU Attorney.

PEACEFUL ENJOYMENT What do you get for all your payments and caution and careful maintenance? You get, under law, the right to the “quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the premises.” With a little luck, you’ll get a good landlord who will let you enjoy the peace and privacy for which you are pay-ing. With a little work, you will be for him or her, a good tenant.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION There is free legal counseling available for OSU stu-dents. Contact the Legal Advising Office, Room 135, Memorial Union East. Or call 541-737-4165 for an appointment. If your problem is against another student you may wish to contact Community Mediation Services at 541-757-8677.

3. Heating: There shall be a permanently installed heat source with the ability to provide a room temperature of 68 degrees three feet above the floor, measured in the approximate center of the room, in all habitable rooms. All heating devices or appliances shall be of an approved type. Ventilation for fuel-burning heating appliances shall be as required by the Mechanical Code.

CORVALLIS RENTAL HOUSING PROGRAM

The Corvallis Rental Housing Program was enacted by the City Council in 1999 to be a resource for people with rental housing issues or concerns. A City Housing Programs Specialist is available to all citizens who have questions or concerns about rental housing in the City, including property owners, property managers, tenants, neighboring property owners, and any other interested parties.

The Specialist listens to a caller’s issues and concerns, and then addresses the situation in one of several ways. Most

likely, he or she will refer you to the appropriate agency that can assist you in the best manner (this may be the City’s Development Services or Fire Department, Legal Aid, or another agency appropriate to your situation).

In July of 2002 the City Council expanded the Rental Housing Program by adding a Rental Housing Code. The Rental Housing Code addresses four areas of habit-ability that were identified most frequently over a period of two years as issues of concern to people living in Corvallis: structural integrity, plumbing, heating, and weatherproofing. Specific housing standards were created and a City Ordinance implemented in order to provide the City with an enforce-ment mechanism for the Rental Housing Code.

COMPLAINT PROCEDUREA primary goal of the complaint procedure is to bring

about resolution without the need for City enforcement action. A complaint to the City must be in writing and may be filed in person or by mail, e-mail or fax. A complaint may be filed with the City only after the tenant has sent written notice to the landlord/ property manager detailing the alleged habitability violation, and given them 10 days to respond to the complaint. A complaint must include the following:• name of person filing the complaint• name of the landlord/manager• address of the alleged violation• a complete description of the alleged violation• a copy of the written notice of the alleged habitability

violation that has been sent by the tenant to the landlord.A person who files a complaint must be a party to the

current rental agreement or an agent of this party. Complaint investigations will be processed by Housing Division staff only after the above process has been followed.
