AT THE CAPITOL

Our Representatives are listening. Many senior and disabled park residents have written letters and voiced their concerns about the rent increases allowed by law at this time. If left at it’s current rate of 10%, seniors and those living on social  security or fixed-incomes will be priced out of their homes.

With no more affordable housing available anywhere, this subject is of dire concern for our law-makers and our community.  During our workgroup we will be representing our members and all manufactured home  park residents as we discuss what a new lower rent increase cap should look like.

Other topics on our agenda include whether or not landlords should be allowed to increase the rent between tenants, and if so, by what amount; we will also be discussing whether or not landlords should be allowed to require upgrades which are only for aesthetic purposes.

More in our next newsletter. In the meanwhile, write to us with your story on how  rent increases affect you. hello@oregontenants.com
