Information on Rent Repayment and Evictions During COVID-19 for Tenants and Landlords
The new Oregon COVID-19 Rent Repayment and Evictions Handbook is now available for tenants and landlords. The handbook contains information about current law relating to rent payments and evictions during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as rent assistance that may be available. This information is also intended to help public officials, courts, and those trying to help landlords and tenants during this difficult time. A Spanish language version of the handbook is also available.
The handbook has been compiled and reviewed by various Oregon tenant and landlord advocates and public agencies. The information is offered in good faith but should not be considered legal advice.
For more specific legal guidance, tenants can contact Legal Aid Services of Oregon or the Oregon Law Center (contact information for local offices is available in the Resources section of the handbook). Landlords or tenants can contact the Oregon State Bar’s lawyer referral service, their own attorney, or one of the private landlord/ tenant attorneys listed at the end of the handbook, in the Resources section.
