Oregon manufactured dwelling park space tenancies
ORS 90.645 · Park closure notice and relocation payment
Park closure and relocation: your rights under Oregon law
If you own the home and rent the space in an Oregon manufactured dwelling park, a closure to convert the land to another use is governed by ORS 90.645. You are entitled to written notice and, when the statute applies, a relocation payment. This page does not apply to apartment rentals. Marina closures use a different statute (ORS 90.671). This is educational, not legal advice.
Mandatory timelines
You are entitled to advance notice
A landlord cannot convert a park to another use overnight. ORS 90.645 sets different clocks depending on whether the closure is the landlord’s conversion or a government-forced closure.
Conversion to a use other than a park
If the park (or a portion that includes your space) will close and the land or leasehold will be converted to a use other than a manufactured dwelling park, and the closure is not required by eminent domain or a government order, the landlord may end the space rental by giving at least 365 days’ written notice before the termination date in the notice, and by paying the relocation amount the statute requires (ORS 90.645(1)).
Eminent domain or agency order
If the landlord is required to close because of eminent domain or an order of a federal, state, or local agency, the landlord must notify tenants in writing no later than 15 days after receiving that notice or order. The tenant notice must state the closure date and reason, describe any government relocation benefits the landlord knows about, and include the tax-assessment appeal information in ORS 90.650 (ORS 90.645(9)). That 15-day rule does not itself require a description of the ORS 316.090 tax credit.
Statutory entitlement
You may be owed a relocation payment
For a conversion closure under ORS 90.645(1)(a)–(b), the statute lists these base amounts by home size. Oregon Housing and Community Services must recalculate them each year for inflation. Confirm the current-year figure with OHCS before you accept payment.
