Oregon Landlord-Tenant Law at a Glance

Security Deposit Limit
No statutory limit

Oregon has no cap on security deposits. Deposits must be returned within 31 days with itemized deductions (ORS § 90.300).

Notice Requirements
10 days (nonpayment, 2nd occurrence) / 72 hours (1st nonpayment) / 30 days (no-fault, < 1 year) / 90 days (no-fault, 1+ year)

Oregon has complex notice rules. 72-hour notice for first nonpayment, 144-hour (6-day) second occurrence. No-fault terminations require 30–90 days depending on tenancy length. SB 608 (2019) requires just cause for most evictions.

Rent Control
Yes — statewide

Oregon was the first state to enact statewide rent control (SB 608, 2019). Annual rent increases are capped at 7% + CPI (max 10%). No cap for first year of tenancy or new construction (first 15 years).

Required Disclosures
  • Move-in checklist (ORS § 90.300)
  • Landlord's name and address (ORS § 90.305)
  • Flood hazard zone disclosure
  • Carbon monoxide alarm compliance
  • Lead paint disclosure (pre-1978)
Eviction Timeline
4–8 weeks

Oregon's eviction (FED — Forcible Entry and Detainer) typically takes 4–8 weeks. Just cause requirements and longer notice periods add time.
