Quote from @Katie Nolan: Here's the Oregon Landlord - Tenant Law: https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors090.htmlHere's a handbook that may be easier to understand: https://oregonlawhelp.org/resources/landlord-tenant-law-oreg...If you're going to be successful, particularly in a heavily regulated state, then I recommend you study the law regularly.
