(b) The rule or regulation: (A) Is reasonably related to the purpose for which it is adopted and is reasonably applied; (B) Is sufficiently explicit in its prohibition, direction or limitation of the tenant’s conduct to fairly inform the tenant of what the tenant shall do or may not do to comply; and (C) Is not for the purpose of evading the obligations of the landlord. (7)(a) A landlord who rents a space for a manufactured dwelling or floating home may adopt a rule or regulation regarding occupancy guidelines. If adopted, an occupancy guideline in a facility must be based on reasonable factors and not be more restrictive than limiting occupancy to two people per bedroom. (b) As used in this subsection: (A) Factors to be considered in determining reasonableness include: (i) The size of the dwelling. (ii) The size of the rented space. (iii) Any discriminatory impact as described in ORS 659A.421 and 659A.425. (iv) Limitations placed on utility services governed by a permit for water or sewage disposal.

(8) Intentional and deliberate failure of the landlord to comply with subsections (1) to (3) of this section is cause for suit or action to remedy the violation or to recover actual damages. The prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorney fees and court costs. (9) A receipt signed by the potential tenant or tenants for documents required to be delivered by the landlord pursuant to subsections (1) to (3) of this section is a defense for the landlord in an action against the landlord for nondelivery of the documents. (10) A suit or action arising under subsection (8) of this section must be commenced within one year after the discovery or identification of the alleged violation. (11) Every landlord who publishes a directory of tenants and tenant services must include a one-page summary regarding any tenants’ association. The tenants’ association shall provide the summary to the landlord.
