Answer To A Residential Eviction

IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON FOR THE COUNTY OF JACKSON Case No: _________________ Plaintiff (Landlord or Agent) v. ANSWER TO A RESIDENTIAL EVICTION Defendant (Tenant or Occupant) I deny that the plaintiff-landlord is entitled to possession because: The plaintiff-landlord did not make repairs. List any repair problems: The claimed damage or violation has been corrected and correction is allowed by law.
