I invest with my brother in law, Jeff Harding.

Our state law states "An owner may impose a reasonablelate fee for each month an occupant does not pay rent when due."

(2) Does anyone have any best practices or tips on dealing with rental properties and tenants that have been impacted by a natural disaster?

We are finishing up some renovations on a house with an in-law on Cape Cod.

Quote from @Katie Nolan: Here's the Oregon Landlord - Tenant Law: https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors090.htmlHere's a handbook that may be easier to understand: https://oregonlawhelp.org/resources/landlord-tenant-law-oreg...If you're going to be successful, particularly in a heavily regulated state, then I recommend you study the law regularly.

We also are very verse on the Property Code Laws of what legally we must do and what is just good business.So @Ian McClure to answer your question, it would depend on how the new tenant was on boarded and what kind of business the owner runs concerning his property

This is helpful because they would know specific state laws, such as are the properties in the same state or two different states?

Sure there is a very small chance that something will go wrong, but with the tightening rental laws spending a little on a proper lease is smart.

What are the laws like in Massachusetts with respect to evictions?
