Portland rental regulations at a glance
Oregon's SB 608 (2019) was the first statewide rent control law in the US, capping annual rent increases at 7% plus CPI for buildings over 15 years old. Portland adds additional protections: the Fair Access in Renting (FAIR) ordinance limits screening criteria, and landlords must pay relocation assistance (typically one month's rent) for no-cause terminations and qualifying rent increases. Security deposits are capped at two months' rent.
