Rent

The limitation on evictions after the first year of occupancy will likely have the biggest impact on landlords. During the first year of occupancy in a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord can evict a tenant with a written 30-day, “no-cause” notice.

It was a brutal legislative session that will always be remembered for the passage statewide rent control (SB 608). Unconscionable that the majority party leaves opponents 90 - seconds to testify in opposing significant legislation after unlimited time for panel after panel of 'experts' in support. When in power they all do it - Democrat and Republican - not a pretty thing to watch.

Few renters will get any benefit from Oregon's first-of-its-kind rent control law in the next few years, a Portland State University report says.

Answer: Since you said that the rent is paid every month, I assume that your resident is a month-to-month tenant (as opposed to weekly or fixed-term). If the tenant is within the first year of occupancy in the park, you can evict with a 30-day, no-cause eviction notice (MHCO Form 43 C).

We crossed a significant threshold this week in the Oregon Legislature with a number of bills going to the legislative graveyard.  MHCO is tracking and working to defeat/pass a number of bills this session.  Rent Control (SB 608) was not the only bill that concerned MHCO this legislative session.

On February 28, 2019 SB 608 (rent control) was signed into law.  MHCO has received numerous questions regarding the new statute.  We asked MHCO Legal Counsel to review 10 of the most frequent questions and provide answers.  This is the first of many Q&As regarding Oregon's new law.

Answer: The short answer is "no," you cannot evict an existing RV tenant who has been there for more than one year for no reason.
