Question about lease for rental house in Oregon?

Postby achban » Thu Oct 27, 2011 9:01 am

Question #1:
Do we actually have to be responsible for furniture and other personal possessions that the landlord leaves behind? This is what it says in the lease. We live in Oregon if that makes a difference with the laws.
25. INVENTORY: The premises contains the following items, that the RESIDENT may use: ANTIQUE KITCHEN TABLE, ANTIQUE DRESSER DRAWERS, OWNER‘S PERSONAL POSSESSION IN LOFT. Should these items become damaged, it is the RESIDENT‘S responsibility to restore to original condition, at their own costs.

Question #2:
The Landlord left a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher and microwave as part of the rental house. The lease says that we are pretty much responsible for all repairs. The appliances are all in good shape but they are still being used and can eventually fail. Would i be stuck with the bill if they broke after normal use? This is what the lease says:

RESIDENTS agrees to keep the premises and all items in good order and good condition and to immediately pay for costs to repair and/or replace any portion of the above damaged by RESIDENTS, their guests and/or invitees, INCLUDING ALL APPLIANCES, except as provided by law.

Question #3:
Just because something is stated in the lease does that make it legally binding to a point where it goes above the Oregon tenant rights?

Thanks!

All the conditions of the contract are legal.

Contracts are void if the conditions of the contract violate the current law. This is not the case.

The conditions you described are common clauses for the rental of property with appliances and furnishings.
