Oregon lease renewal guide

When a fixed term ends

Check occupancy before considering nonrenewal

ORS 90.427 treats the first year differently from later occupancy. After the first year, a fixed term generally converts to month-to-month unless the parties agree to a new fixed term or an authorized termination applies. Verify grounds, notice and any relocation payment before using a termination notice. Official source

Rent and the effective date

Do not reset the clock at renewal

For a typical covered tenancy other than week-to-week, ORS 90.323 prohibits increases in the first year and generally requires 90 days’ written notice thereafter and no more than one increase per 12 months. Check any exemption to the cap and include its supporting facts when required. Official source

2026 and 2027 limits

The state publishes a 9.5% cap for 2026 and 10% for 2027 for covered tenancies under the general formula. Some manufactured dwelling and marina facilities have a different cap. Apply the cap for the effective date, and check when the prior increase took effect. Official source

Portland and signing

Check the address, not just the ZIP code

For rentals within Portland, declining to renew on substantially the same terms or conditioning renewal on an increase of 10% or more in a rolling year can implicate relocation-assistance rules. Review exceptions, required notices and deadlines. The local threshold does not permit rent above a state limit. Official source

Keep the paper trail

Save the signed renewal and any required separate notices and attachments. Keep the existing deposit ledger and original condition record with those copies.

Renew with clear terms

This agreement extends an existing lease and records the renewed rent. Lawful terms not expressly changed continue. It does not replace the original lease, create a new automatic-renewal clause, extend a guaranty, or require the tenant to leave when the new term ends.

State guidance is a starting point, not a determination of local coverage or a legal opinion. Rent-regulated and subsidized housing can require prescribed forms. Review the official sources shown for your state and get qualified advice for special cases.
