Parts of HB 3054

A resident in a manufactured home park typically owns their own home, paying rent for the space to
the park landlord. These manufactured homes are permanently installed in place and cannot be
moved. Residents on fixed or limited incomes have few options when park costs escalate. Surging
rents are outstripping residents’ capacity to pay and threatening their ability to remain in homes
that were intended to be provide lifelong security.

SOLUTION:

Limit annual rent increases for homeowners in manufactured home parks
and marinas to increases in the Consumer Price Index.

Some park landlords require new buyers to complete and pay for aesthetic upgrades to units at the
time of sale. This creates significant barriers to manufactured home sales, suppressing the value of
the home and potentially discouraging transactions. (An example of an aesthetic improvement
would be replacing siding which is in good shape because the landlord prefers horizontal over
vertical siding.)

SOLUTION:

Prohibit landlords from requiring a selling tenant or a prospective purchaser
of a home from an existing tenant to make aesthetic or cosmetic improvements to the
home, only maintenance or repair items.

Some park landlords require interior home inspections prior to or at the
time of sale. This creates significant barriers to manufactured home sales, suppressing the value of
the home and potentially discouraging transactions. HB3054 prohibits this practice.

“HB 3054 does not provide that all rent increases that go into effect after September 1, 2025 are subject to the 6% cap. Rather, HB 3054 (which has an effective date of September 1, 2025) requires the Oregon Department of Administrative Services (ODAS) to calculate rent increases for January 1, 2026 (and each subsequent year) at no more than 6% (for parks/marinas with 30+ spaces/slips). For parks/marinas with 30+spaces/slips, it remains 7% plus CPI with a maximum of 10%. We will not know that number until September 30.

 

HB 3054 amends ORS 90.324 (1)(a) to read “(1) No later than September 30th of each year, the Oregon Department of Administrative Services shall calculate the maximum annual rent increase percentage allowed for the following calendar year: (a) For tenancies subject to ORS 90.600 (1) in facilities with more than 30 spaces, as six percent.”

 

The September 1 effective date instructs the ODAS to set the rent increase limit for the following calendar year at 6%. For the remainder of 2025, any rent increases that are effective in 2025 are under the current limit of 7% plus CPI for a max of 10% (so long as rent has not been raised in the previous 12 months).”
