9.5% for rent increases in 2026. DAS has already published 10% for 2027, so increases that take effect on or after January 1, 2027 use 10%.

§ 1 · The formula

How the Oregon cap is calculated

7% + CPI, max 10%

The lesser of 10% or 7% plus the Consumer Price Index. DAS calculates it by September 30 for the next calendar year. Manufactured-home parks with more than 30 spaces have a separate 6% cap.

Law: ORS 90.323 and 90.324 (statewide rent stabilization).

§ 2 · Coverage

Who it covers, and who's exempt

Covered

  • Most residential tenancies other than week-to-week, after the first year of the tenancy

Main exemptions & conditions

  • Units whose first certificate of occupancy was issued less than 15 years before the rent increase notice
  • Regulated or certified affordable housing, where the change doesn't raise the tenant's portion or is required by the program
  • No increase at all during the first year of a tenancy
§ 3 · Timing

Notice, and when it changes next

Notice: At least 90 days' written notice, stating the amount of the increase, the new rent and the effective date. Only one increase in any 12-month period.

Next change: The 10% cap for 2027 takes effect January 1, 2027. DAS publishes the 2028 figure by September 30, 2027.
