Lease Agreement for Oregon

Generate a lease agreement that complies with Oregon law — with OR-specific clauses, legal requirements, and jurisdiction-aware protections.

Oregon legal context

Oregon has strong tenant protections. Oregon's Residential Landlord-Tenant Act (ORS Chapter 90) governs most rentals. Oregon has statewide rent control under SB 608 (2019) limiting annual rent increases to 7% + CPI for properties 15+ years old. Security deposits have no statutory cap but must be returned within 31 days. Oregon requires just-cause eviction for tenancies over one year and a 72-hour or 144-hour pay-or-quit notice depending on the day of the rental period.
