My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: oregon
Two tenants sign a fixed term 1-year lease. The terms of the lease state that unless the landlord receives at least 30 days notice, the lease will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis. If one of the tenants moves out, but neither tenant notifies the landlord, can the moved-out tenant be bound to the month-to-month lease renewals for many years after he moved out?
My understanding was that for a lease renewal to be binding on a tenant, the tenant must be a resident, which means he must be living in the unit, occupying the unit. If the tenant moves out and is no longer occupying the unit and never returns, then he is no longer a resident. And if he is no longer a resident, then he cannot be bound to the rental agreement for years later. Is this correct? If not, why not? What are the legal limits of "jointly and individually liable?"
Thanks.
