Oregon Lease Agreement Template
Reviewed by the Agiled editorial teamUpdated June 2026
The lease template below works in Oregon once you fill in the state-specific numbers — and those numbers are what this page covers: the deposit cap, how fast the deposit must come back, how much notice the landlord owes before entering, and what it takes to end a month-to-month tenancy. The download is the same attorney-style boilerplate as our standard lease; Oregon law fills in the blanks.

How Oregon handles lease agreements
Oregon was the first state with statewide rent control — annual increases capped at 7% plus CPI (10% max) — and after the first year of tenancy, landlords need a statutory cause to terminate at all. In Oregon, the security deposit rule is: no statutory cap (last month's rent restrictions apply). After move-out, the landlord's deadline to return the deposit is 31 days after termination, and ending a month-to-month tenancy takes 30 days in the first year; 'no-cause' termination largely barred after 1 year (SB 608). Confirm current figures against the state statute before signing — legislatures amend landlord-tenant law frequently.
Oregon lease agreement FAQs
How much can a landlord charge for a security deposit in Oregon?
No statutory cap (last month's rent restrictions apply). Put the exact deposit amount in the lease, along with where it is held, and check the current statute — several states have recently lowered their caps.
How long does a landlord have to return a security deposit in Oregon?
31 days after termination. The return should include an itemized statement for any deductions; missing the statutory deadline can expose the landlord to penalty damages in many states.
How much notice does a landlord need to enter a rental in Oregon?
24 hours' notice. Even where no statute sets a number, writing a notice period into the lease (24–48 hours is the national norm) protects both sides.
How much notice is required to end a month-to-month tenancy in Oregon?
30 days in the first year; 'no-cause' termination largely barred after 1 year (SB 608). Give notice in writing and keep proof of delivery — the notice period is one of the most commonly litigated lease terms.
