Oregon Landlord-Tenant Laws
Oregon Security deposits
Oregon sets no cap on how much a landlord can charge for a security deposit, but the deposit and a written accounting for every deduction must be returned within 31 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant hands back possession.
Oregon Rent increase notice
Oregon caps most residential rent increases at 9.5% for calendar year 2026 and requires at least 90 days' written notice before any increase takes effect.
Oregon Late fees
Oregon gives tenants a statutory four-day grace period: a landlord may not charge a late fee unless rent is still unpaid after the fourth day of the rental period, and the fee must be spelled out in a written rental agreement.
Oregon Entry notice
Oregon landlords must give tenants at least 24 hours' actual notice before entering a rental unit, and may enter only at reasonable times.
How this record was verified: Dual-host reads of statute text: official Oregon Legislature ORS chapter pages (oregonlegislature.gov ors090.html and ors091.html) plus the oregon.public.law mirror (current through the 2023 ORS edition and 2024 session), with verbatim re-reads of ORS 90.323(2)-(6) and 90.324(1)-(2). Every load-bearing number (31-day deposit return, 2x penalty, 4th-day late-fee grace, 6%/day and 5%/5-day fee caps, 24 hours' actual notice, 90-day increase notice, first-year bar, once-per-12-months limit, 15-year exemption, 3-months-rent penalty, lesser-of-10%-or-7%+CPI formula) was read on both hosts. The annually-published cap figure was verified on the official DAS Office of Economic Analysis rent-stabilization page (fetched twice with different prompts) and cross-confirmed against the DAS newsroom press releases of 2025-09-30 and the 2025-10-01 correction: 9.5% for calendar 2026 (CPI-U West Region September 12-month average of 2.5%). 2026 short-session sweep via the Oregon Real Estate Agency's official 2026 Legislative Update: SB 1523, HB 4120, HB 4123 all enacted, none changes a v1 field.
