Returned checks shall be treated as unpaid rent and subject to a $45 handling fee. All returned checks must be made good by cash, money order, or cashier’s check within 24 hours of notification to avoid legal action. 1.3) Prepaid rents are refundable on a prorated basis. 1.4) If Tenant of this Space is also Tenant of any other space under a rental contract with Lessor, default on any rental contract constitutes default on all rental contracts. 1.5) Tenant shall pay a $25 charge if rent is not received by the 10th of the month. If Tenant is delinquent, access to the premises will be denied. Any delinquent tenant on premises is considered trespassing.

Receipt of the photo confirms move-out. 2.5) Tenant accepts possession of the Space in its present condition. 2.6) Tenant shall not make improvements or alterations without Lessor’s written consent. All such alterations become Lessor’s property. 2.7) Tenant shall not assign or sublet without written consent. 2.8) Tenant agrees to comply with all laws and Lessor’s rules. 2.9) Tenant shall not use the Space except for storage of lawful personal property and shall not store anything outside the Space. 2.10) Tenant shall not operate appliances in the Space.

8) LANDLORD'S LIEN

Lessor shall have a valid lien on all personal property in the Space as security for rent payment, as provided by Oregon law (ORS Chapter 87). Partial payment does not prevent lien sale.

  • (a) Tenant fails to pay any rent within ten days after it is due; or
  • (b) Tenant fails to comply with any other obligation under this Agreement.
All obligations are obligations to pay rent, and for any default Lessor may pursue all remedies available for nonpayment. 9.3) Lessor is not required to give notice to declare default or pursue remedies. 9.4) Acceptance of partial rent after default does not affect Lessor's right to proceed with foreclosure unless all rent and costs are paid. If Tenant is in default, Lessor may pursue one or more of the following:
  • (a) Commence eviction (forcible entry and detainer);
  • (b) Enter and take possession, removing any Tenant locks ($25 lock removal fee);
  • (c) Remove Tenant's property;
  • (d) Terminate this Agreement and re-let the Space;
  • (e) Commence legal action for unpaid rent or other sums;
  • (f) Place a lock on the Space;
  • (g) Foreclose lien on Tenant’s property by civil action or sale at public auction to the highest bidder. A $50 auction fee (nonrefundable) applies when rent is 60 days late.

Tenant shall pay all costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Lessor in enforcing this Agreement, including lien foreclosure.

11) HEIRS

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and bind Lessor and Tenant and their respective heirs, successors, and permitted assigns.
