Question:  All indications are that the 2023 legislature is going to revisit the rent increase formula currently in effect, and once passed it would likely become law immediately upon the Governor’s signature.

State legislation requires manufactured home park and floating home landlords to amend Rental Agreements to provide for a Mandatory Mediation Policy (Oregon Revised Statute 90.767). The policy must include an explanation of the process and format for mediation and provide information on mediation services available. Statute currently calls for establishment of an “Informal Dispute Resolution”, commonly referred to as voluntary mediation. Both aspects of mediation are viable; however, mandatory mediation compels parties to meet at least once and suspends any court action until completion of the mandatory mediation.
