Frequently Asked Questions
What is the rent cap in Oregon?
Oregon limits annual rent increases to 7% plus the consumer price index (CPI). For 2026, this results in an approximately 9.5% maximum increase. Buildings less than 15 years old are exempt.
Does Oregon require just cause for eviction?
Yes. After the first year of tenancy, landlords must have cause to evict. No-fault evictions (landlord move-in, major renovation) require 90 days notice and payment of one month’s rent as relocation assistance.
How much notice is required for a rent increase in Oregon?
Oregon requires 90 days written notice for any rent increase, regardless of the amount. This is one of the longest notice periods in the country.
What are the security deposit rules in Oregon?
Oregon does not have a statutory limit on security deposits, but prepaid rent is limited to first and last month’s rent. Deposits must be returned within 31 days with an itemized statement.
