there is no lease we just pay rent month by month and he wants to tear down the house in June and said we had to be out by then, so is it legal to move and not give him the 30 day notice since we are buying a house????

Yes, you need to give the 30 day notice regardless of the reason you're leaving. Buying a house is treated no differently than any other reason you may want to move.

Just for the sake of doing the right thing, I would give him notice. I do not know the Oregon landlord tenant law, but here in Montana, if you don't give the 30 days, technically the
landlord can charge three times your rent to you until he rents the place again. It isn't worth a big hassle to avoid writing a note, is it?
God luck with your new home!

It depehds on yr agreement when you rented the present apartment.
Take a look at it and you will know whether it is a month or three.If it is not stated in the agreement then it is best for both parties if you give your landlord a grace period of one month for it is part and parcel when renting a house or apartment so that the landlord will have the chance of looking for a new tenant in order to avoid the loss of income.
Hope this will be of help.

Technically, I don't think you have to give a 30-day notice since there is no lease (written or verbal). But, it would certainly be nice of you to tell him, even if you aren't legally obligated to do so. What can it hurt?

I don't know. Did you all sign a lease w/ current landlord?
If you did you have to keep to the specifics of that lease.
If not, it would be nice of you to give notification of your intentions, but I do not know the legality concerning it.

I would review your rental agreement, but it is common courtisy to give this notice. This allows the landlord adequate time to find a nee tenant and not be at a financial loss.

That depends on the terms of your contract, written or verbal, with the landlord. Just as a matter of courtesy, let him know as soon as you are sure you have the new house.

Lease says?
Go by your lease...
most says 30 days and that is the at the end of the lease.

Yes. But, you can talk to your landlord and see if you can get out of it.
