FAQ
The tenant must give the landlord notice of their intention to move out within 90 days of the event causing the need to move. The notice must be given to the landlord at least 14 days before the tenant intends to move out.
You can help the situation a lot by providing as much notice as possible and writing a sincere letter to your landlord explaining why you need to leave early. Ideally you can offer your landlord a qualified replacement tenant, someone with good credit and excellent references, to sign a new lease with your landlord.
Tenants also have certain rights under federal, state, and some local laws. These include the right to not be discriminated against, the right to a habitable home, and the right to not be charged more for a security deposit than is allowed by state law, to name just a few.
When a landlord and tenant sign a lease agreement it forms a legally binding contract. The lease cannot be altered except through another written agreement signed by both parties unless the original lease specifically gives a party the power to change something on their own.
For 2020, the maximum rent increase is 9.9%. Between tenants, there is no limit to how much the rent can go up (except if a short-term tenant was just evicted from the unit, a provision that discourages a revolving door of tenants for rent increases.)
Oregon Rent RulesOregon has a statewide rent control law that limits the amount of rent increases, bars landlords from raising rent more than once in any 12-month period, and requires landlords to give tenants proper notice before raising rent.
Notice Requirements for Oregon TenantsOregon tenants who want to get out of a month-to-month rental agreement must provide at least 30 days' written notice. One exception is if the landlord doesn't provide an exit from each bedroom in the unit, the tenant can give the landlord a 72-hour notice.
