My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Oregon
In Aug. 2013, I signed a 2-year lease for a bit of land and small cabin in Clackamas County, Oregon. At the time of the lease signing, the cabin I was to rent was under construction, so we agreed in the lease that it would be required to be inhabitable by Sept. 30, 2013. I would be temporarily renting the property owner's summer cabin at a reduced rental rate while it was being worked on.
Five months later, the cabin I am supposed to be renting is far from complete - it has no drywall, electric, incomplete plumbing, it's basically four walls with a roof on a concrete slab. I asked the property owners for an estimated completion date in January and was told they couldn't make any promises because they had run out of money and were finding the construction project stressful. Basically, no end in sight. The summer cabin I'd been living in was uninsulated, had poor heating, was filled with the property owner's things and thus I was living out of suitcases and boarding my cat in a rather stressful environment because they wouldn't allow her to live in it (she was to be allowed in my cabin when it was finished). It's inhabitable but NOT what I agreed to, and I was at my limit of patience with their construction project. The landlords have no problem with me wanting to move out; in fact, they suggested it. We agreed that I would move out March 15th.
My question is: would the property owners potentially be held liable for moving expenses and a hefty early-termination fine I'm getting from my satellite company? I signed a 2-year contract with them at the same time I signed my 2-year lease with no intention of needing to move. I feel that I've been beyond patient with them and have given them a more than reasonable amount of time beyond our deadline to get this cabin built and inhabitable.
