Fifth Annual Palooza Seminar Recap
On May 15, 2026, the Oregon Rental Housing Association (ORHA) hosted its fifth annual Palooza seminar. ORHA includes a number of local associations, some with fewer than 100 members. Many of these groups encounter difficulties in raising sufficient funds to maintain their organizations. To address this, ORHA Board members generously volunteer their time and expertise to organize and present an all-day event intended to support and benefit these associations.

Collaboration with Klamath Rental Owner’s Association (KROA)
This year, the Klamath Rental Owner’s Association (KROA) partnered with ORHA to co-host the Palooza seminar. Tia Politi, a long-standing member of ORHA and chair of the ORHA Mentor Committee, led the committee in planning and delivering a variety of services during the...

Mind Your Business – Tia's Tips for Better Rental Management. Serve it Right: The Perils of Perfecting Service of Notice

Tia Politi

Follow the rules and win every time – ignore the rules and you can lose big.

I staff five landlord helplines around the state and invariably most calls are about terminating tenancy – a process that is always fraught with peril. The challenges are many. First, you must select the correct form, then you must prepare the notice just right, calculate the timing with precision, and finally, serve the notice perfectly. If the resident does not perform according to the direction in the notice, your notice will become the basis for a court action, and the resident or their attorney can defend against your notice in court. If the termination is for-cause, you must provide an adequate cure period and be able to prove that the violation(s) occurred. The civil standard of proof is by...

2026 Oregon Annual Rent Increase Percentage

For 2026, the maximum annual rent increase limits are:

  • 9.5% for rental facilities that are 15 years or older.
  • The lower maximum rental increase established by HB3054 (6%) is only applicable to manufactured home parks and floating home marinas containing more than 30 spaces.

House Bill 3054, passed in 2025, changed how rent increases are calculated. Now, the size of the rental property affects the allowed increase.

Only one rent increase may be issued in any 12-month period.

Landlords subject to the rules of the Portland Housing Bureau or the Eugene Rental Housing Code have additional restrictions. Visit https://www.eugene-or.gov/845/Rental-Housing-Program for information on the Eugene rules, and https://www.portland.gov/phb/rental-services for information on the Portland rules.

For more information on the methodology, calculation, and Consumer Price Index data, see: Maximum Annual Rent Increase, 2026 (Excel file).

Additional information can be found on the Oregon.gov website.

Please contact the member helpline for your local association with any questions that you may have. If you do not know the contact information for your local association, you can view the information by clicking HERE.
