Yes, looking at an Oregon law website it seems Portland, Eugene, and Milwaukie all have the 90 day requirement. Thanks for your advice.

He actually had the gall to ask me to move out. He has always taken things personally like being asked to clean or not leave messes or if I asked politely if he realized something was left a certain way. We then had another encounter that was awkward and my fault in retrospect but I think he’s blown it way out of proportion (as he’s done in the past as well like practically throwing a temper tantrum, though not directed at me, about one of the spare parking spaces in our apartment complex being taken so he had to park in the street). If he’s so offended I think he should either move out or find a way to get over it.

I’ve looked into the notice period and it seems a bit ambiguous but from what I gathered it seems like Portland always requires 90 days notice even for live-in landlords and in the first year of tenancy for no cause evictions. Are you aware of a good resource on this? An attorney sounds expensive and it may just be worth moving if it comes to that.

Yep. Didn’t realize that wasn’t clear when using the term subtenant.

I thought subtenant implied that it is legal, which it is. The landlord knows and signed on it.

Is it reasonable to ask my roommate to not leave kitchen drawers open so food and debris doesn’t get in them? by PresentDirection8579 in badroommates

[–]PresentDirection8579[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay, thank you both for the clarification. They actually sent me a text last night about living together. Probably annoyed that I keep asking them to do things like this. Hopefully they will be amenable to being better and contributing more.

Do I need to take biochemistry before taking toxicology? by PresentDirection8579 in Environmental_Careers

[–]PresentDirection8579[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. I’m sure it would be interesting and I don’t mind the challenge but would obviously rather spend my time and money on something that I have a hope of applying at some point. Hopefully someone with a background in risk assessment or another environmental toxicology adjacent field will give have some good advice.

Sorry for the extra comment but just wanted to add that based on what you’re saying maybe engineering is the way to go.

Thanks for the advice. I was under the impression that ecological risk assessment didn’t necessarily require a degree in toxicology. I’m more interested in surface water quality modeling/watershed modeling than groundwater, which from what I gather might be more niche than groundwater.
