If anyone would like to move out and give me 15 day notice I should be able to place one in with minimum gap.

I noticed your double standard in your reply as you don't mention the thing that is "eerily similar to what we've heard...". 

I noticed most of the posts are 3 years old.  

More long term rentals are also very attractive to students, I noticed that less people seem to be staying in apartments and are instead looking to move into houses around campus.   

I always get a notice to pay for the "Proactive Rental Enforcement Program" https://www.santa-ana.org/prep-program/. 

., leaving notice becomes X and non-renewal notice becomes Y instead of 60 days)I’m not qualified to give you any advise but that’s what we do.

I am curious how many would even notice?

With my interest in learning more I have researched or looked for jobs nearby but I have noticed that the design community in Eugene is fairly small and most seem to only be a one person job.

Mine are all up as of a month or so ago (at least that's when I noticed.) 

If you do section 8 you also have to be aware that your notice requirements for renewal and also for lease termination are longer than the standard lease.
