Oregon rental law explained, from lease to move-out
How Oregon's rent cap and just cause rules work, what each eviction notice requires, how FED cases proceed, and what the law says about repairs and deposits.
ABOUT THIS BOOK
A rent increase, a repair that never happens, or a termination notice taped to the door can raise urgent questions for tenants and landlords alike.
The Oregon Landlord-Tenant Guide explains residential tenancies under ORS Chapter 90 and evictions under ORS Chapter 105. It covers Oregon's statewide rent cap of 7 percent plus the West region CPI, with a 10 percent ceiling, the bar on increases during the first year, and the 15-year exemption for newer buildings. It explains just cause rules after the first year and when a landlord owes one month's rent as a relocation payment.
The guide walks through the relationship from both sides, tenant and landlord. It explains the 10-day and 13-day nonpayment notices, 72-hour notices in week-to-week tenancies, lease-violation and 24-hour notices, the forcible entry and detainer (FED) case, the first appearance, and the notice of restitution. It also covers habitability and essential services, repair and deduct for defects under $300, 24 hours' notice for entry, the 31-day security deposit deadline, the ban on self-help evictions, and abandoned property.
A toolkit adds checklists, comparison tables, a glossary, sample notices, common mistakes, and questions to ask an attorney.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY
Oregon landlord tenant law: what to know before you order.
Straight answers about what the guide is, what it covers and how it reaches you.
How much can a landlord raise the rent in Oregon?
Under ORS 90.323, increases are capped at 7 percent plus the West region CPI, with a 10 percent ceiling, and rent may not be raised in the first year. The guide explains the exemptions and the 90-day notice rule.
Can a tenant withhold rent for repairs in Oregon?
Oregon law does not allow simply stopping rent to force repairs. The guide explains the tenant remedies that do exist, including repair and deduct for defects under $300 (ORS 90.368).
