The notices and their periods
- 10-Day or 13-Day Nonpayment Notice — for nonpayment (ORS 90.394): a month-to-month or longer tenancy gets at least 10 days (served no earlier than the 8th day of the rental period) or 13 days (served no earlier than the 5th). A week-to-week tenancy gets 72 hours. The notice must include the required rental-assistance information.
- 30-Day For-Cause Notice (14-day cure) — for a curable lease violation (ORS 90.392): a 30-day notice giving at least 14 days to cure. A repeat of the same violation within six months can become a 10-day notice with no cure; pet violations get a 24-hour cure.
- 24-Hour Notice — for serious or dangerous conduct (ORS 90.396), with no opportunity to cure.
Ending a tenancy and serving notice
Oregon is a statewide just-cause state under SB 608 (ORS 90.427). During the first year of occupancy, a landlord may end a month-to-month tenancy without cause on 30 days' notice. After the first year, no-cause termination is not allowed — the landlord needs tenant cause or a qualifying landlord reason (such as sale or owner move-in) on 90 days' notice plus one month's rent in relocation assistance.
Notices are served under ORS 90.155, and an eviction is filed as a Forcible Entry and Detainer (FED) action. Oregon also caps most annual rent increases at 7% plus inflation, with a hard 10% maximum.
Just cause after the first year
SB 608 made Oregon a statewide just-cause state: once a tenant passes 12 months, the landlord can't simply end the tenancy — they need a tenant-based cause or a qualifying landlord reason (sale, demolition, major repairs, owner move-in) with 90 days' notice and relocation assistance. Landlords who own four or fewer units have a limited exemption from the relocation payment.

WriteMyNotice.com is a self-help document preparation service, not a law firm, and this page is general information, not legal advice. Eviction rules are strict and vary by state, county, and city — many cities add rent-control or just-cause requirements on top of state law, and an improper or mistimed notice can get an eviction case delayed or dismissed. Verify the current requirements for your property's location and, for contested or high-stakes evictions, consult a landlord-tenant attorney. Statute references verified June 2026.
