Crispin Rosenkranz, 50, in front of his Northeast Portland home, Dec. 14, 2020, said his landlord offered him $500 to voluntarily move out of his home in Northeast Portland in August. He rejected the offer and claims his landlord has since resorted to a harassment campaign to get him to leave the property since she can not issue an eviction during the moratorium.
During the statewide eviction moratorium, landlords cannot evict a tenant for not paying rent. Some tenant advocates say this has resulted in increased reports of tenant harassment.
It has become increasingly clear to Crispin Rosenkranz that he is no longer a welcomed tenant in his pale yellow Northeast Portland rental.
Oregon tenant advocates see uptick in landlord harassment
December 15, 2020 GMT
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Oregon’s eviction moratorium generally appears to be working as intended, holding off evictions that are expected with the coronavirus-related economic crisis.
But some tenant advocates have said recently the ban on no-cause evictions has fueled a rise in tenant harassment, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported. Advocates said it’s because landlords who for now can’t evict tenants formally through the courts are instead pressuring tenants until they feel they have to move out.

The Community Alliance of Tenants executive director Kim McCarty says landlords mostly are respecting the moratorium now but their phones are ringing off the hook with tenants who are confused about their future.
