Why Oregon Landlords Need a System
Oregon pioneered statewide rent control in 2019 with SB 608, and the regulatory landscape has only grown more complex since. The base formula — 7% plus CPI, capped at 10% by SB 611 (2023) — applies to most residential properties statewide. But that’s just the starting point. Portland layers relocation assistance requirements that can cost landlords up to $4,500 per unit when a rent increase exceeds 10% or when a no-cause termination is issued. Even during the first year of tenancy, Portland requires 90 days’ notice for no-cause terminations — triple the 30-day statewide minimum.
Manufactured home park owners face a separate cap entirely. HB 3054 (2025) limits parks with 30 or more spaces to a 6% annual increase — well below the 9.5% standard cap for 2026. Smaller parks still follow the standard formula, but tracking which cap applies requires knowing your exact space count. Miss this distinction and you could face tenant complaints, fines, or forced rent rollbacks.
Oregon’s just cause eviction framework under ORS 90.427 adds another layer. After the first year of tenancy, no-cause evictions are banned entirely. Landlords must cite a qualifying reason, provide 90 days’ notice, and pay one month’s rent as relocation assistance (unless they own four or fewer units). The 15-year new construction exemption is a rolling window that shifts every January 1 — a property exempt today may lose its exemption next year. LeaseBase tracks all of these overlapping rules for every property in your portfolio, calculates your maximum allowable increase by city and property type, and alerts you to notice deadlines before they pass.
