Improper sewage disposal

SALEM, Ore. — An Oregon appeals court upheld the trial court’s decision to award a landlord possession of a rented space where a tenant parked her RV, and its dismissal of the tenant’s counterclaims for injunctive relief and damages. The landlord may have violated his duty to provide sewage disposal, but the tenant discharged her sewage into nearby bushes, near a well, which was not excused by the landlord’s failure. She could have capped the RV’s septic port instead.
