An Oregon residential lease agreement records the deal between a landlord and tenant for a home in Oregon. It identifies the parties and premises, sets the rent and term, allocates utilities and maintenance responsibilities, and provides a written place for property rules. The free PDF and Word versions on this page are labeled for Oregon and are intended as a practical starting document—not a substitute for checking which statutes, disclosures, or local rules apply to a particular property.

The principal research authority for this page is Oregon Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, ORS chapter 90, as supplemented by 2026 Oregon Laws chapters 23, 61, and 108. Research scope: Oregon residential-tenancy scope and property regimes, agreement and copy duties, deposits and payment methods, rent and fees, habitability and access, identity, smoking, flood and confidentiality duties, termination and survivor remedies, natural-disaster rules, execution, local overlays, and enacted future-law activation gates. Because residential rules can depend on property type, tenancy length, location, and regulated-housing status, review the completed agreement and any required addenda before signing.

Oregon lease topics to review

The current research draft for Oregon identifies the following topics as relevant to residential lease preparation. Use them as a checklist, and verify each rule's scope, current text, and exceptions before adding a term to the lease.

• Oregon chapter 90 has arrangement-specific exclusions and separate regimes for facilities, tenant-owned homes, RV parks, and assisted housing.
• Oregon controls fixed-term amendments, requires agreement and amendment copies, requires a smoking policy in most leases, and prohibits specified terms.
• Oregon requires a receipt and a specific accounting and balance within thirty-one days after termination and possession delivery.
• Oregon defines detailed habitability duties and now requires at least one nonportal means of common-area access.
• Oregon requires identity, smoking, and flood information and, since June 5, 2026, tightly limits disclosure of extensive tenant data.
• Oregon termination requires a tenancy-, duration-, ground-, payment-, exception-, and local-law matrix, followed by judicial possession process.
• Oregon requires agreement and amendment copies, controls statutory notice delivery, and bars portal-only signing after a qualifying alternative request.
• Oregon requires an address-level local-law review, especially for screening, rent notices, relocation, termination, licensing, codes, and special facilities.

The final lease should not waive protections that cannot lawfully be waived. If a selected term conflicts with a controlling statute, official form, court order, housing-program rule, or local ordinance, the controlling rule applies even when the parties signed different language.

What to include in an Oregon residential lease

• Landlord, tenant, and premises details — use the parties' full legal names, the complete Oregon property address, and a clear description of included parking, storage, furnishings, or shared spaces.
• Term and rent — state whether the tenancy is fixed-term or periodic, when it begins, when rent is due, accepted payment methods, and what happens at the end of the stated term.
• Deposits and charges — identify each deposit, prepaid amount, fee, and late-payment term separately so it can be compared with the current Oregon rule that applies to the property.
• Utilities, maintenance, and access — allocate day-to-day responsibilities without attempting to transfer a nonwaivable landlord or tenant duty.
• Rules and addenda — document pets, smoking, parking, guests, insurance, association rules, and any federal, state, local, or property-specific disclosure that applies.
• Notices and signatures — provide reliable notice addresses and retain a complete signed copy for every party.

State and local checks before signing

Oregon requires an address-level local-law review, especially for screening, rent notices, relocation, termination, licensing, codes, and special facilities. Confirm the property address and the current local text before signing.

Federal requirements can also apply. For example, most pre-1978 housing requires the federal lead-based-paint disclosure process. Manufactured housing, short-term occupancy, owner-occupied rooms, subsidized housing, and rent-regulated property may follow a different legal path from an ordinary residential lease.
