Portland OR, tenant requesting month-to-month after a year lease

[Luis Gutierrez]

Hi guys, we have a single family home in Portland Oregon. The tenant is requesting to extend occupancy in a month-to-month lease after her year lease is over. The question is, legally, do we have to conceed to the request or can we negate it and part ways? The lawyer tenant has a "challenging" personality. Contacting me with "urgent" service calls on things that were working perfectly fine with the user being the issue. On the latest emergency a technician told me "listen I don't know what you're asking me to do here the AC is working fine you just need to turn it on and wait for the system to kick in..." We don't mind attending to our property when the requests are real and reasonable but they haven't been, from the beginning. Any help is greatly appreciated.
