CORVALLIS RENTAL HOUSING PROGRAM The Corvallis Rental Housing Program was enacted by the City Council in 1999 to be a resource for people with rental housing issues or concerns. A City Housing Programs Specialist is available to all citizens who have questions or concerns about rental housing in the City, including property owners, property managers, tenants, neighboring property owners, and any other interested parties.

The Specialist listens to a caller’s issues and concerns, and then addresses the situation in one of several ways.

Corvallis — A Community that Honors Diversity Most likely, he or she will refer you to the appropriate agency that can assist you in the best manner (this may be the City’s Development Services or Fire Department, Legal Aid, or another agency appropriate to your situation).

In July of 2002 the City Council expanded the Rental Housing Program by adding a Rental Housing Code.

The Rental Housing Code addresses four areas of habitability that were identified most frequently over a period of two years as issues of concern to people living in Corvallis: structural integrity, plumbing, heating, and weatherproofing. Specific housing standards were created and a City Ordinance implemented in order to provide the City with an enforcement mechanism for the Rental Housing Code.

COMPLAINT PROCEDURE A primary goal of the complaint procedure is to bring about resolution without the need for City enforcement action. A complaint to the City must be in writing and may be filed in person or by mail, e-mail or fax. A complaint may be filed with the City only after the tenant has sent written notice to the landlord/ property manager detailing the alleged habitability violation, and given them 10 days to respond to the complaint. A complaint must include the following: • name of person filing the complaint • name of the landlord/manager • address of the alleged violation • a complete description of the alleged violation • a copy of the written notice of the alleged habitability violation that has been sent by the tenant to the landlord.

A person who files a complaint must be a party to the current rental agreement or an agent of this party. Complaint investigations will be processed by Housing Division staff only after the above process has been followed.

Oregon law adds marital status, source of income, victims of domestic violence (including sexual assault and stalking), and Corvallis goes further to include level of income, gender identity or expression, religious observance, and age.

So, you found just the apartment?

Have you considered how SAFE your new home is?

Use this easy checklist to make sure your new place is FIRESAFE! HOME FIRE SAFETY CHECKLIST

More fires and fire deaths occur in off-campus rental housing than any other form of college housing.

Most of these fires could have been prevented had residents taken a few minutes to make their place fire safe and then remained vigilant thereafter.

Please use this inspection form and go on a hunt for home hazards in your place TODAY!

S Does EVERY room you use for overnight sleeping have

an operable window that is large enough for you to use for emergency escape in case of fire? Windows should be at least 24" tall by 20" wide and no more than 44" from your bedroom floor. NEVER sleep in a room without one — IT MAY BE YOUR ONLY WAY OUT!!

S Check your smoke alarms. You should have at least

one working smoke alarm outside each sleeping area.

You should also install a smoke alarm inside each bedroom. Never disable your smoke alarms for any reason.

Test your alarms every month. Replace your batteries at least once a year (unless they are 10-year-life batteries).

If you replace the batteries and your smoke alarm still doesn’t work, notify the landlord or property manager immediately. *As of January 1, 2002, all rental properties are required to be equipped with smoke alarms that meet the following: – Ionization alarms: Shall be equipped with a long life battery and hush feature – Photoelectric alarms: Regular 9-volt battery (hush feature not required) – Hard-wired alarm: Regular 9-volt battery back-up (hush feature not required).

If you believe your dwelling is NOT properly equipped, contact your landlord, property manager, or the Corvallis Fire Department at 766-6961.

S Find the location of your nearest fire extinguisher.

All apartment complexes are required to provide a fire extinguisher either inside the unit or outside but within approximately 75 feet travel distance. If you rent a house, you might ask the landlord to purchase one for the house; or you may want to invest in one yourself.

If you ever have a small fire in your home, you’ll be glad you did. Take a minute to read the instructions before you need to use a fire extinguisher.

S Go over in your mind or with your roommates what

you would do if a fire broke out at night while you were asleep. Practice your plan to include opening bedroom windows to ensure you could escape through them if need be. Decide on an outside meeting place.

NEVER GO BACK INSIDE FOR ANY REASON.

S Unattended cooking is the leading cause of fires

and fire injuries in this country. Make it a practice to NEVER leave cooking unattended, even for a minute.

If you need to leave the kitchen while you are cooking: • Remove the pan from the hot burner • Turn the burner off • Place the pan on a cold element

DAILY BAROMETER

If a small grease fire starts in a pan, smother the flames by carefully sliding a large lid (or a larger pan) over the pan, then turn the burner off. You can also use baking soda or a fire extinguisher from a safe distance.

S Careless use of candles are responsible for many fires

and fire deaths. If you still choose to use real candles in the home, consider the following precautions: • Extinguish all candles when leaving the room or going to sleep.

• Keep candles well away from items that catch fire, Christmas trees, decorations, clothing, curtains, etc..

• Make sure candles are placed on a sturdy noncombustible holder, such as a plate or tray, that will not tip over. % Make sure candle holders are non-combustible and big enough to collect dripping wax.

• Do not use candles in places where they can be knocked over by children or pets.

S If you have small children in the home, keep matches and lighters out of their sight and reach at all times.

S Plug only one heat-producing appliance into an electrical outlet. Never override or bypass fuses or circuit breakers. Avoid running electrical cords across doorways or under carpets. Use fuse-protected power strips instead of extension cords.

S If there are smokers in your house, ensure they never smoke when drowsy, while drinking, or when in bed.

Use sturdy, non-tip ash trays; and check for smoldering butts in furniture — especially after parties. Douse butts and ashes with water before discarding outside.

Consider only smoking outside.

S If you use portable space heaters, always give them at least 3 feet of clearance all the way around. Turn off at night and while you are out. Portable heaters should always be plugged directly into a wall outlet, not into an extension cord. Make certain that nothing is pushed up against baseboard heaters.

S If you use an electric blanket, always turn it off when you get up. Make certain its electrical cord is routed in a protected manner and not strung through the metal springs where it could be damaged. Discard damaged blankets or those over 10 years old.

S Immediately report any unsafe condition to your landlord or property manager. Follow-up with written notification, and always keep a copy. If you experience difficulty getting these conditions corrected, you can contact the City of Corvallis’ Rental Housing Program at 766-6944. They may be able to assist through mediation or other means.

Please take time for fire safety. The life and personal property you save may be YOUR OWN! Think About It! For other questions about fire safety in rental properties please call the Corvallis Fire Department at 766-6903.
