Common questions

• How much can the park raise rent for a new buyer when I sell?

  Rent increase limits generally apply per space regardless of who lives there, but many members report large resets when a home resells — this is a frequent source of confusion and worth a dedicated FAQ.

• Received a 90-day notice of rent increases of 14.5%, is this legal?

  Oregon caps rent increases once per year, and the maximum percentage is recalculated annually (it was 14.5% in some past years and near 10% for 2025). A park cannot raise a household's rent more than the current statutory cap or more than once a year.

• When am I able to withhold from paying rent?

  Withholding rent is only legally protected in narrow habitability situations, requires written notice first, and is risky without legal help — OSTA consistently advises members not to do this without an attorney.
