Rent, late fees & Oregon’s rent cap

Oregon caps residential rent increases statewide. Since 2023 (SB 611), the maximum annual increase is 7% plus the annual change in the CPI-U West, but never more than 10%. The state’s Office of Economic Analysis publishes the figure for the next calendar year by September 30: it was 10% for 2025 and is 9.5% for 2026 (ORS 90.324).

First year & frequency — Rent can’t be increased during the first year of the tenancy, and after that no more than once in any 12-month period (ORS 90.323).
90-day notice — Every increase needs at least 90 days’ written notice (7 days for a week-to-week tenancy) stating the amount of the increase, the new rent, the effective date, and the facts supporting any claimed exemption (90.323).
Exemptions — The cap doesn’t apply to a unit whose certificate of occupancy was issued less than 15 years before the notice date, or to certain regulated affordable housing (90.323). The notice and once-a-year rules still apply.
Penalty — Raising rent above the cap makes the landlord liable for three months’ rent plus the tenant’s actual damages (90.323).
Late fees — A late charge can be imposed only if rent isn’t received by the fourth day of the rental period, and only if the written lease states the fee, its type and amount, and the rent due date. It can be a reasonable flat fee once per period; a daily fee starting day 5 of no more than 6% of a reasonable flat fee; or 5% of the periodic rent for each succeeding five-day period. A landlord can’t deduct an old late fee from a current rent payment (ORS 90.260).
Screening fees — An applicant screening charge can’t exceed the landlord’s average actual cost of screening (or the customary amount charged by screening companies), requires written screening criteria first, may be charged only once per 60 days, and must be refunded within 30 days if no screening is done. Violations cost twice the fee plus $250 (ORS 90.295).

Tenant protections you can’t waive

Prohibited lease terms — A lease can’t waive Chapter 90 rights, authorize a confession of judgment, exculpate anyone from liability for their own misconduct or negligence, or impose liquidated damages beyond the fees ORS 90.302 allows. Deliberately using and trying to enforce such a clause can cost up to three months’ rent plus actual damages (ORS 90.245).
No lockouts — Excluding a tenant or cutting essential services exposes the landlord to up to two months’ rent or twice actual damages, whichever is greater (ORS 90.375).
No retaliation — A landlord can’t raise rent, cut services or terminate because a tenant complained to a government agency or the landlord, joined a tenants’ organization, or exercised Chapter 90 rights (ORS 90.385).
Rent cap & just cause — The rent cap (ORS 90.323) and the after-first-year termination limits (ORS 90.427) apply regardless of anything the lease says.
