94.986 Requirements for sale of membership camping contract
Status: in_force

With respect to any campground offered for sale in this state and acquired and put into operation by a membership camping operator after September 1, 1985, the membership camping operator shall not sell membership camping contracts in this state granting the right to use such campground until one of the following requirements has been satisfied:

(1) Each person holding an interest in a blanket encumbrance executes and delivers to the Real Estate Commissioner a nondisturbance agreement and records such agreement in the real estate records of the county in which the campground is located. “Nondisturbance agreement” means an instrument by which the holder of a blanket encumbrance agrees that the holder’s rights in the campground shall be subordinate to the rights of any membership camping contract purchaser. Every nondisturbance agreement must contain a covenant by the lienholder that the lienholder, its successors, and anyone who acquires the campground property through the blanket lien shall not use, or cause or permit the property to be used in a manner that prevents a membership camping contract purchaser from using, the campground property in the manner contemplated by the membership camping contract. The lienholder’s agreement not to disturb a membership camping contract purchaser may require as a continuing condition that the purchaser perform all obligations and make all payments due under any membership camping contract for the purchaser’s campground interest and, if the membership camping contract is held as a leasehold, under the lease for the purchaser’s campground interest. The nondisturbance agreement shall also contain provisions setting forth each of the following:

(a) The nondisturbance agreement may be enforced by purchasers of membership camping contracts. If the membership camping operator is not in default under its obligations to the holder of the blanket encumbrance, the agreement may be enforced by both the membership camping operator and the purchasers.

(b) The nondisturbance agreement is effective as between each purchaser and the holder of the blanket encumbrance despite any rejection or cancellation of the purchaser’s contract during bankruptcy proceedings of the membership camping operator.

(c) The agreement is binding upon the successors in interest of both the membership camping operator and the holder of the blanket encumbrance.

(d) A holder of the blanket encumbrance who obtains title or possession, or who causes a change in title or possession in a campground by foreclosure or otherwise, and who does not continue to operate the campground upon conditions no less favorable to members than existed prior to the change of title or possession shall:

(A) Offer the title or possession of the campground to an association of members to operate the campground; or

(B) Obtain a commitment from another entity that obtains title or possession to undertake the responsibility for operation of the campground.

(2) If a financial institution, acting as hypothecation lender and providing the major hypothecation loan to the membership camping operator, has a lien on, or security interest in, the membership camping operator’s interest in the campground, the financial institution shall execute and deliver to the commissioner a nondisturbance agreement and record such agreement in the real estate records of the county in which the campground is located. In addition, each person holding an interest in any blanket encumbrance superior to the interest held by the financial institution shall execute, deliver and record an instrument stating that such person shall give the financial institution notice of, and at least 30 days to cure, any default under the blanket encumbrance before such person commences any foreclosure action affecting the campground. For the purposes of this provision, a major hypothecation loan to a membership camping operator is a loan or line of credit secured by substantially all of the contracts receivable arising from the membership camping operator’s sale of membership camping contracts.

(3) There shall have been delivered to and accepted by the commissioner a surety bond or letter of credit with the commissioner as obligee for the benefit of purchasers. The bond or letter of credit must be in an amount which is not less than 105 percent of the remaining principal balance of every indebtedness secured by the blanket encumbrance affecting the campground. Any such bond must be issued by a surety authorized to do business in this state and having sufficient net worth to satisfy the indebtedness. Any such letter of credit must be irrevocable and must be drawn upon a bank, savings and loan association or other financial institution acceptable to the commissioner. The bond or letter of credit shall provide for payment of all amounts secured by the blanket encumbrance, including costs, expenses and legal fees of the lienholder, if for any reason the blanket encumbrance is enforced. The bond or letter of credit may be reduced periodically in proportion to the reduction of the amounts secured by the blanket encumbrance.

(4) There have been delivered to and accepted by the commissioner other financial assurances which the commissioner finds are acceptable to carry into effect the intent and provisions of this section. [1985 c.639 §11a; 1991 c.377 §5]

(2) Prior to the sale of a lot, the declarant shall offer to sell the lot to the tenant who occupies the lot. The offer required under this subsection:

(a) Terminates 60 days after receipt of the offer by the tenant or upon written rejection of the offer, whichever occurs first; and

(b) Does not constitute a notice of termination of the tenancy.

(3) For 60 days after termination of the offer required under subsection (2) of this section, the declarant may not sell the lot to a person other than the tenant at a price or on terms that are more favorable to the purchaser than the price or terms that were offered to the tenant.

(4) After the manufactured dwelling park or mobile home park has been submitted for subdivision under ORS 92.830 (Definitions for ORS 92.830 to 92.845) to 92.845 (Relationship of subdivision in manufactured dwelling park or mobile home park to planned community statutes and series partition statutes) and until a lot is offered for sale in accordance with subsection (2) of this section, the declarant shall notify a prospective tenant, in writing, prior to the commencement of the tenancy, that the park has been submitted for subdivision and that the tenant is entitled to receive an offer to purchase the lot under subsection (2) of this section.

(5) Prior to the sale of a lot in a subdivision created by conversion of the park, the declarant must provide the tenant or other potential purchaser of the lot with information about the homeowners association formed by the declarant as required by ORS 94.625 (Formation of homeowners association) . The information must, at a minimum, include the association name and type and any rights set forth in the declaration required by ORS 94.580 (Declaration) .

A landlord may refuse to accept a rent tender that is for less than the full amount of rent owed or that is untimely.

(2) A landlord may accept a partial payment of rent. The acceptance of a partial payment of rent in a manner consistent with subsection (4) of this section does not constitute a waiver under ORS 90.412 (Waiver of termination of tenancy) (2)(b) of the landlord’s right to terminate the tenancy under ORS 90.394 (Termination of tenancy for failure to pay rent) for nonpayment of the balance of the rent owed.

(3) A landlord and tenant may by written agreement provide that monthly rent shall be paid in regular installments of less than a month pursuant to a schedule specified in the agreement. Installment rent payments described in this subsection are not partial payment of rent for purposes of this section.

(4) The acceptance of a partial payment of rent waives the right of the landlord to terminate the tenant’s rental agreement under ORS 90.394 (Termination of tenancy for failure to pay rent) for nonpayment of rent unless:

(a) Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(A) The landlord accepted the partial payment of rent before the landlord gave a nonpayment of rent termination notice under ORS 90.394 (Termination of tenancy for failure to pay rent) based on the tenant’s agreement to pay the balance by a time certain and the tenant does not pay the balance of the rent as agreed;

(B) The landlord’s notice of termination is served no earlier than it would have been permitted under ORS 90.394 (Termination of tenancy for failure to pay rent) had no rent been accepted; and

(C) The notice permits the tenant to avoid termination of the tenancy for nonpayment of rent by paying the balance within the time period allowed under ORS 90.394 (Termination of tenancy for failure to pay rent) or by any date to which the parties agreed, whichever is later; or

(b) The landlord accepted a partial payment of rent after giving a nonpayment of rent termination notice under ORS 90.394 (Termination of tenancy for failure to pay rent) and entered into a written agreement with the tenant that the acceptance does not constitute waiver. The agreement may provide that the landlord may terminate the rental agreement and take possession as provided in ORS 105.100 (Definition of “attorney”) to 105.168 (Minor as party in proceedings pertaining to residential dwellings) without serving a new notice under ORS 90.394 (Termination of tenancy for failure to pay rent) if the tenant fails to pay the balance of the rent by a time certain.

(5) Application of a tenant’s security deposit or prepaid rent to an obligation owed to a landlord in foreclosure under ORS 90.367 (Application of security deposit or prepaid rent after notice of foreclosure) does not constitute a partial payment of rent.

(6) Notwithstanding any acceptance of a partial payment of rent under subsection (4) of this section, the tenant continues to owe the landlord the unpaid balance of the rent. [2007 c.906 §29; 2011 c.42 §8a; 2020 s.s.3 c.3 §12]

90.295 Applicant screening charges
Status: in_force

(1) Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a) A landlord may require payment of an applicant screening charge solely to cover the costs of obtaining information about an applicant as the landlord processes the application for a rental agreement. This activity is known as screening and includes but is not limited to checking references and obtaining a consumer credit report or tenant screening report. The landlord must provide the applicant with a receipt for any applicant screening charge. Promptly after each screening conducted by a tenant screening company or consumer credit reporting agency for the landlord, the landlord shall provide the applicant with confirmation of the screening, including a copy of a receipt from the company or agency.

(b) A landlord may only require an applicant to pay a single applicant screening charge within any 60-day period, regardless of the number of rental units owned or managed by the landlord for which the applicant has applied to rent.

(2) The amount of any applicant screening charge must not be greater than the landlord’s average actual cost of screening applicants or the customary amount charged by tenant screening companies or consumer credit reporting agencies for a comparable level of screening. Actual costs may include the cost of using a tenant screening company or a consumer credit reporting agency and the reasonable value of any time spent by the landlord or the landlord’s agents in otherwise obtaining information on applicants.

(3) A landlord may not require payment of an applicant screening charge unless prior to accepting the payment the landlord:

(a) Adopts written screening or admission criteria;

(b) Gives written notice to the applicant of:

(A) The amount of the applicant screening charge;

(B) The landlord’s screening or admission criteria;

(C) The process that the landlord typically will follow in screening the applicant, including whether the landlord uses a tenant screening company, credit reports, public records or criminal records or contacts employers, landlords or other references;

(D) The applicant’s rights to dispute the accuracy of any information provided to the landlord by a screening company or credit reporting agency;

(E) A right to appeal a negative determination, if any right to appeal exists;

(F) Any nondiscrimination policy as required by federal, state or local law plus any nondiscrimination policy of the landlord, including that a landlord may not discriminate against an applicant because of the race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status, familial status or source of income of the applicant;

(G) The amount of rent the landlord will charge and the deposits the landlord will require, subject to change in the rent or deposits by agreement of the landlord and the tenant before entering into a rental agreement;

(H) Whether the landlord requires tenants to obtain and maintain renter’s liability insurance and, if so, the amount of insurance required; and

(I) The applicant’s right to a refund of the screening charge under subsection (5) of this section and right to recover damages under subsection (6)(b) of this section; and

(c) Gives actual notice to the applicant of an estimate, made to the best of the landlord’s ability at that time, of the approximate number of rental units of the type, and in the area, sought by the applicant that are, or within a reasonable future time will be, available to rent from that landlord. The estimate shall include the approximate number of applications previously accepted and remaining under consideration for those units. A good faith error by a landlord in making an estimate under this paragraph does not provide grounds for a claim under subsection (6)(b) of this section.

(4) Unless the applicant agrees otherwise in writing, a landlord may not require payment of an applicant screening charge when the landlord knows or should know that no rental units are available at that time or will be available within a reasonable future time.

(5) A landlord that requires an applicant screening charge must refund the applicant screening charge to the applicant within 30 days if the landlord:

(a) Fills the vacant dwelling unit before screening the applicant; or

(b) Has not conducted or ordered any screening of the applicant before the applicant withdraws the application in writing.

(6) Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a) An applicant may not recover an applicant screening charge from the landlord if the applicant refuses an offer from the landlord to rent the dwelling unit.

(b) The applicant may recover from the landlord twice the amount of any applicant screening charge paid, plus $250, if:

(A) The landlord fails to comply with this section with respect to the applicant’s screening or screening charge; or

(B) The landlord does not conduct a screening of the applicant for any reason and fails to refund an applicant screening charge to the applicant within 30 days.
