How can a landlord legally increase rent in Oregon?

A landlord in Oregon can legally increase rent by providing proper notice to tenants and adhering to the state limits on rent increases. This process is governed by Oregon's laws, specifically under the statewide rent control measures that dictate how much and how often a landlord can raise rent.

Under these regulations, landlords are required to give tenants at least 90 days' written notice for rent increases that exceed a certain percentage, which is adjusted annually. This requirement helps protect tenants from sudden and unreasonable rent hikes and establishes a clear, legal process that landlords must follow to ensure transparency and fairness. The limits on rent increases are designed to balance the rights of landlords with the need for housing affordability for tenants.

Other options like increasing rent without notice, limiting increases to once every five years, or requiring agreement from all tenants do not align with Oregon's housing laws and therefore are not permissible.
