“When we stand together, we are strong.”

Can you imagine what legislation Landlords would be able to pass if there was NO opposition organization left to defend and organize park and marina tenants? Your membership makes it possible to stand up for Oregon park and marina tenant’s rights.

OSTA is where Oregon park and marina tenants go to find answers and information about rent increase limits, landlord disputes, park rules, and forming resident committees as well as offering referrals for qualifying members seeking legal assistance. OSTA is where people go to learn about their rights. We work hard, advocating for you, to ensure the voices of the park and marina tenants are heard.

We work with state government agencies like:

  • Oregon Housing and Community Services office
  • Manufactured and Marina Communities Resource Center
  • Dispute Resolution Advisory Committee which reports on the Mandatory Mediation program
  • State legislators

Membership dues go toward paying for the Helping Hands Grants, operational costs, website maintenance, insurance, entity fees, mail service, email hosting, printing and other necessary costs to run our organization.

We make sure you have access to information about your rights when you need it most. We are here to answer member’s email inquiries and offer our knowledge and support.

Associate Members

We offer two kinds of memberships.  OSTA Members are those who live in a park or marina community.  OSTA Associate Members are those individuals who do not live in a park or marina community but recognize the valuable work which must be done to preserve our communities.  So maybe your parent lives in a community and you want to get involved, or you have a special job in a related field, please join us!

We welcome all members equally and are thankful for your contribution.

OSTA is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The IRS has issued guidelines that affect the charitable contribution portion of memberships. Under those guidelines, members may claim the amount of their membership, less the fair market value of benefits received. For OSTA members, the fair market value of benefits received is not substantial and your gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.  All additional charitable donations to OSTA are also tax-deductible.
