Bill > HB3642

This bill fundamentally changes Oregon's residential tenancy laws to provide more flexibility for landlords in managing rental properties. Specifically, the bill allows landlords to terminate month-to-month tenancies without cause, removes previous restrictions on rent increases, and eliminates limits on the frequency and amount of rent hikes. Under the new law, landlords can end a month-to-month tenancy by providing either 30 days' notice during the first year of occupancy or 60 days' notice after the first year. The bill also repeals previous provisions that capped rent increases and restricted how often landlords could raise rents. These changes significantly reduce tenant protections by making it easier for landlords to end tenancies and increase rental costs, effectively giving property owners more control over their rental properties. The bill applies to future termination notices and rent increase notices given after its effective date, and it repeals ORS 90.324, which previously regulated rent increase calculations.
