Elk Creek Management Company v. Gilbert

After Tenants (defendants) reported electrical problems and Elk Creek (plaintiff) inspected the property, Elk Creek issued a termination notice citing needed repairs including electrical work, and the Tenants argued this violated Oregon's landlord-retaliation statute; the trial court, requiring proof Elk Creek intended to injure the Tenants, found the termination might have been based on other valid business reasons and ruled for Elk Creek, a ruling the court of appeals affirmed.
