Four additional questions and answers regarding Oregon's new rent control law.

1. Question:  I am using MHCO leases that I will renew in three years.  The leases provides for a rent increase each year of the lease of 4.5%.  Going forward, can I now increase rent 6% each year that is left of the lease or do I have to stick with the 4.5%?  

2. Question: We have storage agreements that we are planning to raise the storage fees.  Are we limited to 6% increase on storage fees?

3. Question: If I send an increase notice next month that is effective January 1, 2026, can we increase the rent 10% since the notice was sent prior to September 1, 2025?  As long as the notice is sent out by September 1, 2025 is there a limit to how far out that the rent increase is effective?

4.   Question: .  It appears that the new laws apply to RV parks, as the RV Space Rental Agreement includes the rent control parameters.  Correct?

Question  A:  We have a Tenant who has refused to fix the water leaks within their mobile home. The park owner pays for the water and there have been significant cost increases due to the leaks. 

The Lease is the MHCO Lease from 2003 and states under Tenant Agreements F. Maintain the Home in accordance with conditions set forth in Paragraph 12.A(8)(a) through (e) which states in (d) all electrical, water, storm water drainage and sewage disposal systems in, on, or about the Home, are in operable and safe condition, and that the connections to those systems have been maintained.

What recourse do we have in this situation?

Question B:  We have a tenant whose sewage line is routinely blocked.  We have had a plumber our numerous times and unclogged resident’s sewage line.  We have repeatedly told this resident that they cannot put certain items in the toilet - and yet they continue to do so and block the sewage line.  Does this constitute grounds for eviction?  At what point is the resident responsible for the sewage line and the items they are putting in the toilet?Question B:  We have a tenant whose sewage line is routinely blocked.  We have had a plumber our numerous times and unclogged resident’s sewage line.  We have repeatedly told this resident that they cannot put certain items in the toilet - and yet they continue to do so and block the sewage line.  Does this constitute grounds for eviction?  At what point is the resident responsible for the sewage line and the items they are putting in the toilet?
