Linn-Benton RHA

Linn-Benton Rental Housing Association is a membership based, non-profit organization of landlords. Our members own or manage properties in Albany, Corvallis, Lebanon, Sweet Home, Philomath and other communities in the Central Willamette Valley.

We are a local organization dedicated to helping our members from the private rental owners to the larger property management companies; through our educational meetings, seminars, and newsletters. Our members can share problems, solutions, and ideas with other landlords to ultimately help all of us become better and more profitable landlords.

We are a member of the Oregon Rental Housing Association (ORHA) which allows our membership to be part of a much larger and more powerful lobbying group dedicated to passing fair and balanced Landlord/Tenant Laws and legislation.

We invite you to check out our website, look at the benefits LBRHA offers rental owners, and see how we can help you prosper to the fullest from your rental investments.

Senante Bill 611 Became Effective on July 6, 2023

On July 6, 2023 Governor Kotek signed Senate Bill 611, which enacts the following restrictions on rent increases:

·    Housing Providers may only raise rent once in any 12-month period.

·    Unless an exemption applies, rent increases may not exceed the lesser
of either: 10% or 7% plus the published Consumer Price Index (CPI).

·    If a Housing Provider terminates a tenancy without cause in the first year
of occupancy, the maximum amount of rent that may be assessed to the
subsequent renter in that unit may not exceed the maximum amount the
Housing Provider could have charged the terminated tenancy.
 

Because this is an emergency measure, all rent increase notices issued on or after July 6, 2023 must comply with these new rules. 

SB 611 expressly does not apply to rent increases that were sent prior to it being signed into law by the Governor. Please contact your LBRHA Member Helpline
if you have any questions regarding any of these changes.

How Evictions Are Changing Under HB 2001 (2023)

-- Important Changes to Oregon Eviction Law --

"Overview: Effective March 29, 2023, House Bill 2001 (2023) redefines the statutory meaning of non-payment, extends the time given in termination notices for non-payment (back to 10/13 days as they were during the pandemic protections), requires additional information and disclosures in non-payment notices and summons, and also extends the eviction timelines (so these cases are now going to take longer)."

"More fully described, HB 2001:

  • Extends the 72-hour timeline for issuance of notice of intention to terminate rental agreement based on nonpayment to 10 days for residential eviction notices and extends 144-hour timeline to 13 days.
  • Requires landlord to deliver notice to tenant specifying rights and resources (this notice is set out below and may be found at https://www.courts.oregon.gov/forms/Documents/FED-Notice-2023-03-24.pdf), subject to court dismissal of complaint for possession if landlord fails to deliver notice or tender rent owed by the tenant.
  • Directs Judicial Department, in consultation with Housing and Community Services Department, to regularly update and translate notice form into specified languages other than English.
Clarifies responsibilities of public bodies distributing rental assistance."
