                               { +
NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS + }
   { +  The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A
foreclosure sale is scheduled for ________. Unless the lender who
is foreclosing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go
through and someone new will own this property.
  The following information applies to you only if you occupy and
rent this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate
rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you
own this property or if you are not a residential tenant.
  If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who
buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to
require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an
eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you

Enrolled Senate Bill 1013 (SB 1013-A)                      Page 3

must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after
the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the
move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the
property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the
court hearing. + }
                               { +
FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED + }
   { +  IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A
RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL
LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN
NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE
FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS
EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the buyer
must give you at least 90 days' notice in writing before
requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under
a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease),
you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants
to move in and use this property as the buyer's primary
residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you
to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease
with more than 90 days left. + }
                               { +
STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS + }
   { +  IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL
REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING
YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS
A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO
LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER
STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if
you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year
lease), the buyer must give you at least 60 days' notice in
writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to
move in and use this property as the buyer's primary residence,
the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out
after 30 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than
30 days left.
  If you are renting under a month-to-month or week-to-week
rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days'
notice in writing before requiring you to move out.
  IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you notice
under state law, you must prove to the business or individual who
is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupying and
renting this property as a residential dwelling under a
legitimate rental agreement. The name and address of the business
or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on
this notice under the heading 'TRUSTEE.' You must mail or deliver
your proof not later than ________ (30 days before the date first
set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and
should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not
have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other
proof, such as receipts for rent you paid. + }
                               { +
ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT + }
   { +  Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and
any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe
your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in
writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security
deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this
only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this,
you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or

Enrolled Senate Bill 1013 (SB 1013-A)                      Page 4

individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not
responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to
your landlord. + }
                               { +
ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE + }
   { +  The business or individual who buys this property at the
foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant
instead of requiring you to move out. You should contact the
buyer to discuss that possibility if you would like to stay.
Under state law, if the buyer accepts rent from you, signs a new
residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in
writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale
that you must move out, the buyer becomes your new landlord and
must maintain the property. Otherwise, the buyer is not your
landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on
your behalf and you must move out by the date the buyer specifies
in a notice to you.
  YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE
PROPERTY IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BUSINESS OR INDIVIDUAL OR UNTIL A
COURT OR A LENDER TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT,
YOU CAN BE EVICTED. AS EXPLAINED ABOVE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO APPLY
A DEPOSIT YOU MADE OR PREPAID RENT YOU PAID AGAINST YOUR CURRENT
RENT OBLIGATION. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE
AND OF ANY NOTICE YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE CONCERNING THE APPLICATION
OF YOUR DEPOSIT OR YOUR PREPAID RENT.
  IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR
HOME WITHOUT FIRST GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER.
If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon
State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact
information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this
notice. If you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer and are
otherwise eligible, you may be able to receive legal assistance
for free. Information about whom to contact for free legal
assistance is included with this notice. + }
