Is there rent control in Oregon?
Yes. In Oregon, a landlord may not raise the rent during the first year of a tenancy, and after that may raise it once in any 12-month period, with at least 90 days’ written notice, by no more than 7% plus inflation or 10%, whichever is less, which the state set at 9.5% for 2026 and 10% for 2027. Units whose certificate of occupancy was issued less than 15 years ago are exempt. This is ORS 90.323, 90.324.

How Seayora uses this rule
This page states whether the state lets its cities control rent, and any statewide limit on an increase, so a renewal can be checked before it is offered. In New York City, Seayora’s rent-increase advisor goes further: it computes the highest increase the Rent Guidelines Board order and the Good Cause standard allow for each apartment, with the law cited, and gives no number where the law is not verified.
