Statewide Legal Protections for Tenants
There is no longer an eviction freeze in Oregon. Renters who are behind on rent or can't pay future rent should apply for help.
Renters can apply to programs for help paying back and future rent and utilities through:
211info.org or call 211 for information on local rent programs, or
oregonrentalassistance.org for the Oregon Emergency Rental Assistance Program (OERAP)
APPLICATION DEADLINE: The Oregon Emergency Rental Assistance Program will close to new applicants on Monday, March 21 at 11:59pm.
Payments go directly to landlords and utility companies.
Renters should show their landlords proof that they applied for rent help as soon as possible.
Renters are now protected from eviction until their application for rent help is processed if they show proof to their landlord.
If renters show their landlord proof that they applied for rent help before June 30, 2022, they cannot be evicted until
after the application is processed or
after September 30, 2022 – whichever is sooner.
Renters who already have a court case for unpaid rent should show proof that they applied for help to both their landlord and the judge to get extra time.
Until September 30, 2022, any notice to pay rent from a landlord must give 10 days to pay. Notices must also include special information about rent help programs and other protections.
