Oregon Agreement for Delayed or Partial Rent Payments
What is this form?
The Agreement for Delayed or Partial Rent Payments is a legal document that establishes an understanding between a landlord and a tenant regarding late or partial rent payments. This agreement outlines specific deadlines and conditions for when the tenant can make rent payments outside the normal schedule. It serves as a protective measure for both parties, allowing the tenant to avoid eviction while providing the landlord with assurance of eventual payment. This form is particularly useful in circumstances where the tenant faces financial difficulties but wishes to maintain their lease agreement.

The most your landlord can charge as a late fee is 5% of your monthly rent. For example, if your monthly rent is $1,000, the landlord can charge you up to $50 as a late fee. If you receive a rent subsidy, you may not pay all of your rent yourself.
