91.020 Tenancies classified. Tenancies are as follows: Tenancy at sufferance, tenancy at will, tenancy for years, tenancy from year to year, tenancy from month to month, tenancy by entirety and tenancy for life. The times and conditions of the holdings shall determine the nature and character of the tenancy. [Amended by 1969 c.591 §273]
91.070 Tenancy from month to month. One who holds the lands or tenements of another, under the demise of the other, and no certain time has been mentioned, but a monthly rental has been reserved, is considered a tenant from month to month. Except as otherwise provided by statute or agreement, such tenancy may only be terminated by either the landlord or tenant giving the other, at any time during the tenancy, not less than 30 days’ notice in writing prior to the date designated in the notice for the termination of the tenancy. The tenancy shall terminate on the date designated and without regard to the expiration of the period for which, by the terms of the tenancy and holding, rents are to be paid.

An employee described in ORS 90.110 (7) may only be evicted pursuant to ORS 105.105 to 105.168 after at least 24 hours’ written notice of the termination of employment or a notice period set forth in a written employment contract, whichever is longer. This section does not create the relationship of landlord and tenant between a landlord and such employee. [1987 c.611 §3; 1997 c.577 §29; 2001 c.596 §41]
91.122 Occupancy of dwelling unit by employee of resident of dwelling unit. (1) As used in this section, “dwelling unit” has the meaning given that term in ORS 90.100.
(2) An employee of a resident of a dwelling unit whose occupancy is conditional upon employment in and about the premises, and members of the employee’s household, may only be evicted pursuant to ORS 105.105 to 105.168 after at least 24 hours’ written notice of the termination of employment or a notice period set forth in a written employment contract, whichever is longer.

91.220 Tenant in possession liable for rent; remedies for recovery. (1) Every person in possession of land out of which any rent is due, whether it was originally demised in fee, or for any other estate of freehold, or for any term of years, is liable for the amount or proportion of rent due from the land in possession of the person, although it is only a part of what was originally demised.
91.225 Local rent control prohibited; exclusions; exceptions. (1) The Legislative Assembly finds that there is a social and economic need to insure an adequate supply of affordable housing for Oregonians. The Legislative Assembly also finds that the imposition of general restrictions on housing rents will disrupt an orderly housing market, increase deferred maintenance of existing housing stock, lead to abandonment of existing rental units and create a property tax shift from rental-owned to owner-occupied housing. Therefore, the Legislative Assembly declares that the imposition of rent control on housing in the State of Oregon is a matter of statewide concern.
(6) As used in this section, “dwelling unit” and “rent” have the meaning given those terms in ORS 90.100.
91.230 Farm tenant’s right to emblements. When the leasing or occupation is for the purpose of farming or agriculture, the tenant or person in possession shall, after the termination of the lease or occupancy, have free access to the premises to cultivate and harvest or gather any crop or produce of the soil planted or sown by the tenant or person in possession before the service of notice to quit. [Formerly 91.310]

A “municipal utility” does not include a people’s utility district.

(4) A municipal utility shall not deny or shut off its service to any subsequent tenant based on any lien for an unpaid claim for services furnished to a previous tenant who has vacated the premises unless the utility notified the owner or the owner’s agent of any delinquency by mailing a copy of the notice of delinquency by first class mail to the last address of the owner or owner’s agent that is on file with the utility, at the time the notice was sent to the previous tenant.
(7) A municipal utility shall provide information to the owner or owner’s agent regarding the status of a tenant’s account upon request, within a reasonable amount of time. If a request is made verbally, the municipal utility shall provide the information verbally. If a municipal utility discloses information under this subsection, the municipal utility shall not be held responsible for the disclosure of information to a person who is not an owner or owner’s agent.
91.265 Installation of electric vehicle charging station; cost of additional infrastructure improvements; action to enforce compliance. (1) As used in this section:
