How long before eviction in Oregon?

At a glance

Grace period before a late fee

4 days

Late fee cap

A late charge is allowed only if the lease states it in writing and the rent is still unpaid after the fourth day of the rental period. It may be a reasonable flat amount charged once per period, or a daily charge starting on the fifth day capped at 6% of that flat amount and running only through that period, or 5% of the rent charged once for each five-day period the rent stays unpaid.

Pay-or-quit notice

10 calendar days

For any tenancy other than week-to-week, the landlord must deliver at least 10 days' written notice of nonpayment and the intent to terminate if the rent is not paid within that period, and may not give this notice sooner than the eighth day of the rental period, counting the day rent was due. The landlord may instead choose a 13-day notice, which may not be given sooner than the fifth day of the rental period; either option lets the landlord terminate no earlier than the eighteenth day of the rental period. A week-to-week tenancy gets 72 hours' notice instead, given no sooner than the fifth day of the rental period. Every notice under this rule must state the amount of rent owed and the date and time by which the tenant must pay it to cure the nonpayment. A rental agreement may not require the tenant to waive or forgo a right under this chapter, which bars a lease from shortening this notice period; no provision was found addressing whether a lease may lengthen it. The notice period does not differ for a tenant who is late for the first time. No city ordinance changing this notice period was found in the sources reviewed.

Lockouts without a court order banned?

Yes

The statute calls it unlawful for a landlord to remove or exclude the tenant, or to shut off heat, water or other essential services, without a court order. It does not make this a crime; instead the tenant can go to court for an injunction to get back in, or end the lease and recover up to two months' rent or twice the actual damages, whichever is more.

Record sealing available?
