Local market context
How much can rent increase in Oregon?
In Oregon, most landlords cannot raise rent by more than approximately 10% per year. This cap is set at the state level and applies to most residential rentals, though some exemptions exist (typically newer buildings or owner-occupied properties).
Notice requirements
Oregon requires landlords to give at least 90 days written notice before raising rent on a month-to-month tenant. For fixed-term leases, increases generally only take effect at renewal.
