During the tenancy

Receipts, entry, rent changes, renewals, and papers that amend who lives there.

End a tenancy

Give notice, inspect at surrender, and account for the deposit. Use an eviction notice only for unpaid rent or a lease violation.

Statewide rules of thumb

Oregon does not cap how large a residential security deposit may be. Unused deposit plus a written accounting is generally due within 31 days (Or. Rev. Stat. § 90.300). Statewide just-cause and rent-increase limits still apply to many tenancies.

A tenant may end a month-to-month tenancy with 30 days’ notice. After the statutory occupancy period, a landlord generally needs a qualifying reason and longer notice (Or. Rev. Stat. § 90.427).

Except in an emergency, the landlord must give at least 24 hours’ notice before entering (Or. Rev. Stat. § 90.322).

Oregon generally requires at least 90 days’ written notice before a rent increase takes effect (Or. Rev. Stat. §§ 90.323, 90.600). Statewide rent-increase limits may also cap the amount. Portland can add local rules.

Eviction notices

Oregon’s 10-day rent notice (13 if mailed only) is the usual nonpayment step. Just-cause limits apply to many terminations after the occupancy period.

Nonpayment generally takes a 10-day notice, or 13 days if served only by mail (Or. Rev. Stat. § 90.394).
Pay-or-quit deadline: 10 days
ORS 90.155 governs service. Mail-only service adds days. Do not use self-help.

ORS 90.427 requires a qualifying reason to end many tenancies after the statutory occupancy period.

Just cause and rent increase
After the statutory occupancy period, ending a tenancy or skipping a renewal generally requires a listed cause. Statewide rent-increase limits may also apply. Portland adds local rules.
