A rental contract is not a "lease."  Oregon law, to my knowledge, still allows either party in a month-to-month rental contract to terminate that contract with a 30 day notification.  The conversations I've both read and heard refer to a "no-cause eviction".  To my knowledge, there is no such process.......There is, indeed, a FED (Forcible Entry and Detainer) eviction process for a landlord to regain control of his/her rental - lease property.  This process is separate from a contract termination.  The Portland Ordinance effectively eliminates a landlord's ability to terminate a month-to-month rental agreement/contract. I'm guessing such action will be successfully challenged by landlord/property owners in Portland.  It should be.   Gary (been a landlord for 30 years) Crum
