Wow, stop fixing up a rental when you don't own it. Your rent will probably increase next year. Caulking a window?! You got to be fucking kidding me. When you do get evicted, I'll rent you a room in the basement but you'll have to install your own egress window.
Umm. ORS Ch. 90 is a renter's best friend. I bet your ass hat landlord charged you first, last, and security as well as a non refundable deposit, which would be contrary to the statute. Your fault for not knowing your rights as a tenant, and your landlord's fault for not knowing his rights and limitations as a landlord.
So gullible.. Midwesterners.. Easy pickens
