Oregon Residential Lease Agreement FAQ
Common questions about residential lease agreements under Oregon law.
Does Oregon have rent control?
Yes. Under SB 608 (ORS §90.600), annual rent increases for covered units are capped at 7% plus CPI (maximum 10% per year). Units built within the last 15 years are exempt, as are single-family homes rented by individual landlords who are not corporations or institutional investors.
Can an Oregon landlord evict a tenant without cause?
Not after the first year. Under ORS §90.427, landlords may issue no-cause termination notices during the first year of tenancy, but after one year a qualifying reason (nonpayment, lease violation, landlord's intent to demolish or move in) is required. Different notice periods apply to each cause.
