Oregon Property Fraud Protection

Summary

In Oregon, misrepresentation or fraud by a seller can be actionable. Buyers have rights under contract terms and state law requires full disclosure during property sales. To prove fraud, document false statements, show reliance on them, and prove harm. Unfair contracts are called unconscionable contracts. Sellers must provide a right to cure notice before repossession. Bad faith actions by sellers can violate contract laws. Consult a local real estate attorney for specific advice.
