A facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) shall deliver the notice so that the tenant receives the notice not later than the 365th day or the 180th day, as applicable, before the date designated in the notice for termination. The notice shall be delivered to the tenant at the address specified in the lease or rental agreement between the tenant and the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s). In any sublet unit, the notice shall be delivered to the tenant at the tenant’s current address and to the subtenant in possession. If the tenant's address is unknown and not reasonably discoverable, the notice for the tenant shall be delivered to the subtenant with written instructions to forward it to the tenant. Failure of the subtenant to deliver the notice to the tenant does not limit the facility owner(s)' or landlord's agent(s)' right to terminate the rental agreement because of facility closure. (3) For the notice of the closure of a facility or part of a facility that the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) of the facility must give tenants under ORS 90.645(3), the Manufactured and Marina Community Resource Center (MMCRC) establishes the sample form designated for the notice on the department’s website under the Community Service connection. The sample form is also available upon request from the department.
