How often can rent be raised in Oregon?

Quick answer

In Oregon, rent can generally be raised only once every 12 months for units covered by the 10% cap. Month-to-month tenants can also see increases with 90 days' written notice.

Step-by-step answer

  1. Step 1

    Fixed-term leases

    While you're inside a fixed-term lease in Oregon, the rent generally cannot change until the lease ends. That effectively limits increases to once per lease cycle.

  2. Step 2

    Month-to-month tenancies

    On a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord can propose a new rent whenever they give 90 days' written notice and stay within the 10% annual cap. Multiple increases in a short window can still be challenged as unreasonable or retaliatory.

Plain English recap

In Oregon, rent can generally be raised only once every 12 months for units covered by the 10% cap. Month-to-month tenants can also see increases with 90 days' written notice.
