Oregon made history last week when Democratic Gov. Kate Brown signed rent control regulations for tenants across the entire state. It’s the first state to mandate this kind of policy, which is usually regulated at the local level.
Under the new law, rent increases will be capped at 7 percent a year, plus the rate of inflation. Landlords will be required to cite the reason for an eviction, and in certain eviction cases, must give tenants 90-day notice and pay tenants one month’s rent.
