How much notice does a landlord have to give a tenant to move out in Oregon?
Short answer
Ending a tenancy without tenant cause: 30 days in the first year; after that only for a qualifying landlord reason with 90 days' notice and one month's rent
Notice: At least 90 days before the lease ends (30 days for first year of occupancy (no cause needed); 90 days for after the first year, qualifying landlord reason)
During the first year of occupancy you may end a month-to-month tenancy (or decline to renew a fixed term ending in that year) with 30 days' written notice. After the first year, you need a tenant cause or a qualifying landlord reason, 90 days' written notice stating the reason, and usually one month's rent paid with the notice.
