Nothing in this ordinance is intended to alter or amend an existing contractual relationship between landlord and tenant or the rights and remedies available to landlords or tenants under existing state law. If the Notice Period exceeds the term of tenancy in the Rental Agreement, it is recommended that the length of tenancy be extended to coincide with the expiration of the Notice Period to provide for continued occupancy. Early expiration of the tenancy after notice is given does not relieve the declarant from the requirement to provide relocation assistance for existing tenants. In addition, termination of a tenancy by the landlord for improper purposes of avoidance or frustration of the rights granted tenants by ORS Chapter 100 or this ordinance, is a violation of this ordinance as detailed below.
