The woman claims the company did nothing when alerted to the situation, The Register-Guard reported.
In a federal lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon in Eugene in March, a woman claims Pinewood Properties owner and manager Richard Sorric coerced her into a sexual relationship to keep her home then retaliated and asked for back rent when she refused to keep having sex with him.
The suit uses a pseudonym, citing the nature of the allegations.
She started renting from Pinewood Properties in November 2018 and moved out of the property over a year ago, said Meredith Holley, her attorney.
