Oregon’s Statewide Rent Control

[Tyler Kaady]

With statewide rent control I want to be sure that I don’t rent out my units for less than market value, but at the same time I also don’t want to be in a position where my rent is so high that I end up with multi-month vacancies. Would there be any negative implications if I were to offer the incentive of, say, last month free on a two-year lease agreement? This would ultimately result in a reduced average monthly rent while still keeping the rent threshold where it should be. Thoughts?
