Rent Increases

Edited

Overview

Sometimes rent has to go up, but Oregon law sets clear limits so there aren’t any surprises. We follow those rules closely and always give you plenty of notice.

Why It Matters

Knowing how rent increases work helps you plan your budget with confidence. You’ll never be caught off guard.

How to Prepare for a Rent Change

  • How much can it go up? Oregon law says it’s 7% plus inflation (CPI), or 10%, whichever is less.

  • How often? Rent can only be increased once in any 12‑month period.

  • How much notice will you get?

    • For month‑to‑month rentals: at least 90 days’ written notice (after your first year).

    • For week‑to‑week rentals: 7 days’ written notice.

    • For fixed‑term leases: increases typically only happen at renewal, unless your lease specifically says otherwise.

  • Newer buildings or special programs: Homes built in the last 15 years or those in affordable housing programs sometimes have different rules. If that applies, we’ll explain it in the notice.

  • What the notice will include: the new rent amount, how much it’s going up, and the date it starts.
