At Yaquina Law, we know that navigating landlord-tenant relationships can be complex.
Understanding landlord-tenant laws in Oregon can be challenging without experienced legal guidance. Failing to address these matters properly could put your rights and property at risk, we are here to help protect your interests and provide the clarity you need.
With our deep understanding of the Oregon landlord tenant laws and our commitment to
providing personalized legal solutions, we help both landlords and tenants understand their rights and resolve disputes, with a primary emphasis on representing landlords. This specialization has allowed us to develop extensive knowledge and experience in addressing the critical issues faced by property owners and managers.
We can help you prepare to become a landlord and assist with the preparation of necessary documents, such as rental agreements and rules and regulations. We can also help you navigate when a tenant breaches their rental agreement to reach a favorable resolution. Many landlords experience difficulty when they need to evict a tenant. The Oregon laws are very strict, and one minor error can cause a notice to be deemed invalid. We will work with you to ensure compliance every step of the way.
If there is an issue that requires the use of the court system, we are prepared to represent our client’s interests and work hard to obtain a favorable result. In Lincoln County, Oregon, once a forcible entry and detainer (FED) action is filed, a first appearance is scheduled. At that first appearance, if both parties are willing, the case is sent to mediation on that same day. Mediation is a confidential process, where the parties can discuss their complaints and try to resolve the matter — saving time and money. We have had wonderful success utilizing the mediation process for our clients.

Oregon landlords may increase rent with a proper 90-day notice only after the first year of occupancy in a month-to-month tenancy, in a week-to-week tenancy the notice period is seven days.
In 2019, the Oregon legislature passed Senate Bill 608, which severely restricted a landlord’s ability to evict a tenant for “no cause.” You should obtain legal counsel before issuing a “no cause” notice.
Only if it is stated in the written rental agreement. If there is no written rental agreement, or a late fee is not specified, a landlord cannot charge a late fee.
We pride ourselves on being with you every step of the way.
