Fair housing law expressly prohibits housing discrimination on the basis of familial status, including setting restrictive terms and conditions on residents with children under 18.

Attached is a copy legislation impacting manufactured home communities.  Many of these legislative concepts we have seen before in past sessions.  Of specific interest is SB 586 which is the coalition bill.  This bill will be completely revised in February.  The other priority bill is the rent control bill - SB 608.

This is the first of many legislative updates for 2019.

There is an old saying coined by the Salem 'Statesman Journal' that during the Oregon Legislative Session no man's or women's horse or home is safe."  This certainly applies to the 2019 Legislative Session.

It's hard to believe that it has been six weeks since the annual conference in Eugene.  Before we know it 2019 will be here!  Hopefully you will be bringing a renewed sense of pride, commitment, and enthusiasm for your career into the new year, as well as some of the concepts and ideas that were introduced during the conference.

The 2018 Midterm Elections are over and the results are worse than expected.  

Historically, it has been common knowledge that once signed by the landlord and tenant, a rental/lease agreement may not be amended unless all parties agree. However, over the years, as landlord-tenant legislation began to detail more and more rights and liabilities, the issue arose as to how changes in the law were to be applied, when they did not appear in the rental/lease agreement.
