Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Oregon:
*. Landlords are required to give at least 90 days' notice before selling the property.
*. The landlord is still responsible for utilities if that's included in the lease agreement.
*. It's illegal to shut off utilities, especially in severe weather.
You should consider seeking legal advice.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. To summarize, in Oregon, landlords must give a *-day notice before selling, are responsible for utilities if included in the lease, and cannot shut off utilities in severe weather.
If the property management took over for the new owner are they required to honor my lease until it expires
Yes, in Oregon, if a property is sold, the new owner or property management company is generally required to honor existing leases until they expire. This includes any terms about utilities.
Thank you
You're welcome, ****. Always remember, your lease is a binding agreement that the new owner must respect. If you face any issues, don't hesitate to seek legal advice. Stay strong and take care.
