2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 03 - Landlord-Tenant, Domestic Relations, Probate › Chapter 090 - Residential Landlord and Tenant › Section 90.800 - Policy.

(1) The State of Oregon encourages affordable housing options for all Oregonians. One housing alternative chosen by many Oregonians is facility living. The Legislative Assembly finds that many facility tenants would like to join together, alone or in cooperation with an associated entity, to purchase the facility in which the tenants live in order to have greater control over the costs and environment of their housing. The Legislative Assembly also finds that current market conditions place tenants at a disadvantage with other potential investors in the purchase of facilities.
(2) It is the policy of the State of Oregon to encourage facility tenants to participate in the housing marketplace by ensuring that technical assistance, financing opportunities, notice of sale of facilities and the option to purchase facilities are made available to tenants who choose to participate in the purchase of a facility.
(3) The purpose of ORS 90.800 to 90.850, 456.579 and 456.581 is to strengthen the private housing market in Oregon by encouraging all Oregonians to have the ability to participate in the purchase of housing of their choice. [1989 c.919 §1; 1991 c.844 §24; 1995 c.559 §42; 2014 c.89 §7; 2017 c.315 §1]

Such funds advanced shall be repaid to the Housing and Community Services Department as determined by the director.
(2) Notwithstanding any budget limitation, the director may spend funds available from the Manufactured Dwelling Parks Account to employ personnel to carry out the provisions of ORS 456.581 (1). [1989 c.919 §12; 2019 c.595 §17]

(1) An owner of a facility shall give written notice of the owner’s interest in selling the facility before the owner markets the facility for sale or when the owner receives an offer to purchase that the owner intends to consider, whichever occurs first.
(2) The owner shall give the notice required by subsection (1) of this section to:
(a) All tenants of the facility; or
(b) A tenants committee, if there is an existing committee of tenants formed for purposes including the purchase of the facility and with which the owner has met in the 12-month period immediately before delivery of the notice.
(3) The owner shall also give the notice required by subsection (1) of this section to the Housing and Community Services Department in the manner prescribed by the department by rule.
(4) The notice must include the following:
(a) The owner is considering selling the facility.
(b) The tenants, through a tenants committee, have an opportunity to compete to purchase the facility.
(c) In order to compete to purchase the facility, within 15 days after delivery of the notice, the tenants must form or identify a single tenants committee for the purpose of purchasing the facility and notify the owner in writing of:

(B) The name and contact information of the representative of the tenants committee with whom the owner may communicate about the purchase.

(6) Upon an award of damages under subsection (5)(b) of this section, the Department of Justice becomes a judgment creditor as to 50 percent of the award and the prevailing party becomes a judgment creditor for the remaining 50 percent of the award. Any recovery of the Department of Justice’s share of the award shall be deposited into the Manufactured Dwelling Parks Account under ORS 456.579, after deducting the Department of Justice’s costs of collection.
(7) Within seven days following a judgment award under subsection (5)(b) of this section, the prevailing party shall provide written notice of the award to the Department of Justice.

2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 03 - Landlord-Tenant, Domestic Relations, Probate › Chapter 091 - Tenancy › Section 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.
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 03 - Landlord-Tenant, Domestic Relations, Probate › Chapter 091 - Tenancy › Section 91.080 - Termination when expiration of tenancy fixed by terms of lease.

A tenant entering into the possession of real estate may, by the terms of the lease, fix the date of expiration of the tenancy, and when so fixed, no notice is required to render the holding of the tenant wrongful and by force after the expiration of the term as fixed by the lease.
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 03 - Landlord-Tenant, Domestic Relations, Probate › Chapter 091 - Tenancy › Section 91.090 - Termination of tenancy by failure to pay rent; reinstatement.

The failure of a tenant to pay the rent reserved by the terms of the lease for the period of 10 days, unless a different period is stipulated in the lease, after it becomes due and payable, operates to terminate the tenancy. No notice to quit or pay the rent is required to render the holding of such tenant thereafter wrongful; however, if the landlord, after such default in payment of rent, accepts payment thereof, the lease is reinstated for the full period fixed by its terms, subject to termination by subsequent defaults in payment of rent.
2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 03 - Landlord-Tenant, Domestic Relations, Probate › Chapter 091 - Tenancy › Section 91.100 - Waiver of notice.

2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 03 - Landlord-Tenant, Domestic Relations, Probate › Chapter 091 - Tenancy › Section 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.
(2) Except as provided in subsections (3) to (5) of this section, a city or county shall not enact any ordinance or resolution which controls the rent that may be charged for the rental of any dwelling unit.
(3) This section does not impair the right of any state agency, city, county or urban renewal agency as defined by ORS 457.035 to reserve to itself the right to approve rent increases, establish base rents or establish limitations on rents on any residential property for which it has entered into a contract under which certain benefits are applied to the property for the expressed purpose of providing reduced rents for low income tenants. Such benefits include, but are not limited to, property tax exemptions, long-term financing, rent subsidies, code enforcement procedures and zoning density bonuses.
(4) Cities and counties are not prohibited from including in condominium conversion ordinances a requirement that, during the notification period specified in ORS 100.305, the owner or developer may not raise the rents of any affected tenant except by an amount established by ordinance that does not exceed the limit imposed by ORS 90.493.
(5) Cities, counties and state agencies may impose temporary rent controls when a natural or man-made disaster that materially eliminates a significant portion of the rental housing supply occurs, but must remove the controls when the rental housing supply is restored to substantially normal levels.
(6) As used in this section, "dwelling unit" and "rent" have the meaning given those terms in ORS 90.100.
(7) This section is applicable throughout this state and in all cities and counties therein. The electors or the governing body of a city or county shall not enact, and the governing body shall not enforce, any ordinance, resolution or other regulation that is inconsistent with this section.
