Recommendations are expected in about six months, with community input planned. For landlords, investors, and residents, this project could reshape the core of Bend and influence future development patterns, rental demand, traffic flows, and surrounding property values.

Alright, let’s break this whole thing down together — because Oregon landlord-tenant law can feel like a giant maze when you’re trying to figure out what kind of notice to give, when you’re allowed to terminate a tenancy, and what a tenant can do if the landlord isn’t holding up their end of the agreement.
Oregon law restricts how landlords may set maximum occupancy limits. Most rental homes cannot be capped at fewer than two people per bedroom, and any guideline must be reasonable, non-discriminatory, and based on actual space and safety factors. Manufactured dwelling and floating home spaces follow similar standards with added utility-capacity considerations. This guide breaks down what’s allowed, what’s not, and how Central Oregon property owners can protect themselves from legal risk.
Under Oregon’s Senate Bill 608 (SB 608), landlords may only terminate a tenancy after the first year of occupancy for four specific “qualifying landlord reasons.” These rules — codified in ORS 90.427 — require 90-day notice, specific documentation, and in most cases a payment of one month’s rent to the tenant. Violations can cost landlords three months’ rent plus damages. This guide breaks down the rules and their implications for property owners across Central Oregon.
