Highland Drive lease
The landlord approved me for a voucher-subsidized apartment under their own screening, knowing my entire history with them. I was not someone they considered a risk.
The record · Primary documents
The documents behind my story, in the order they happened. Most are public court filings — case numbers are listed so anyone can pull them. Each one carries a plain note on what it proves.
Case 26LT00703 — Pacific Rental Properties LLC v. Howerton — the Taylor Street apartment I had already left. Case 26LT06046 — Pacific Rental Properties LLC v. Kelly — the Highland Drive apartment. Both in Jackson County Circuit Court, Oregon. The federal rule at the center of the harm is 24 CFR 982.552(b)(2).
The landlord approved me for a voucher-subsidized apartment under their own screening, knowing my entire history with them. I was not someone they considered a risk.
They filed an eviction on an apartment I had already moved out of — the move their own one-lease policy required — and left me named on it.
I formally raised that a PRP agent entered without the required 24-hour notice. The entry is in the court record, not just my memory.
The Highland move-out began as a no-cause notice — not a claim that I broke any rule — posted the same day I refused to waive my trial in the Taylor case.
In its own words: “No Judgment of Restitution is entered at this time. Defendant agrees to vacate by 11:59 p.m. on May 31, 2026.” No money owed. No lease violation found. A date, nothing more. This is the hinge of the whole story.
The court set aside the Taylor eviction and denied the landlord's attorney fees. An eviction I never should have been named in was erased — but only because I fought to erase it.
The step that converted the settled agreement into an enforceable eviction judgment — the paperwork mechanism, not a new finding that I did anything wrong.
An eviction judgment now exists — but the judgment itself says it rests on the mediation agreement, the same agreement that found no violation. This is how a settlement becomes an eviction on paper.
The order to physically vacate — the document a housing authority reads as “evicted,” regardless of how the case actually resolved.
The Housing Authority terminated our assistance as a mandatory action for an eviction over a “serious or repeated violation of the lease” — a violation no court ever found — and barred every adult in the household for three years.
I disputed the termination in writing: the judgment was entered under a mediation agreement that found no lease violation, and the vacate date in their letter doesn't even match any court document. The contradiction is on the record.
Court filings referenced here are public records, identifiable by the case numbers above through Oregon's court system. Notices, the lease, and the housing-authority letter are personal records held by the household. Copies can be requested by press or counsel through hello@rvrentersvoices.org.
