Oregon Rent Moratorium

[Allie Dickson]

I'd love to get a rental right now but I'm hesitant because Oregon has a very tenant-friendly rent moratorium in place. Does anyone have experience with this on how we can protect ourselves as landlords?

 My understanding is that tenants can use the moratorium for 6 months and then they have to "catch up" on the rent. It seems unlikely that they could ever come up with a lump sum to pay back 6 months of rent. What's to stop them from just walking away with the landlord holding the bag?
