Oregon Sets 2027 Rent Increase Limit at 10%

Oregon has set the maximum rent increase for most covered rentals at 10% in 2027, up from 9.5% this year. The limit applies statewide, including in Douglas County.

For a tenant paying $1,200 a month, a 10% increase would add $120 to the monthly rent. The new limit does not mean rent will automatically rise in January. It sets the most a landlord can increase rent during 2027 when the state cap applies.

A separate 6% limit applies to covered spaces in manufactured home parks and floating home marinas with more than 30 spaces. Spaces in smaller facilities are subject to the 10% maximum for 2027.

Oregon law also limits when a landlord can raise rent. For most residential tenancies, rent cannot increase during the first year, and the landlord must provide at least 90 days’ written notice after that. Rent generally cannot be raised more than once in a 12-month period. The percentage cap has exceptions, including for units whose first certificate of occupancy was issued less than 15 years before the rent increase notice. Certain affordable housing arrangements also have exceptions.

Tenants who receive an increase notice can compare the effective date, new rent amount, and age of the unit with the state’s rules. The Oregon Office of Economic Analysis has posted the 2027 rent limit and calculation. The agency directs questions about individual rent increases and landlord-tenant concerns to Oregon Housing and Community Services at HCS_Housing.Info@hcs.oregon.gov.
