OAR 813 § 813-065-0120
Facility Closure Notice When Closure is Required by Eminent Domain or Government Order
Operative Text
(1) When a facility or a portion of the facility that includes the space for a manufactured dwelling is to be closed under ORS 90.645(9), the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) of the facility shall provide at least the following information to the tenants of the facility or the affected portion of the facility, as applicable: (a) The information required by ORS 90.645(9); (b) The facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s)' address for contact and communications; (c) The actions and activities the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) plans to take in the facility closure that may affect the facility tenants; (d) A copy of ORS 90.645 and of this OAR chapter 813, division 008, and the definitions in ORS 90.100 for “facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s),” “manufactured dwelling,” “manufactured dwelling park,” month to month tenancy,” “rental agreement” and “tenant”; and (2) When the federal, state or local law or order that requires closure or partial closure of a facility under ORS 90.645(9) is known by the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) to provide greater rights or protections for a tenant than are provided by ORS 90.645(9), including government relocation benefits, the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) shall do the following: (a) Modify the notice required to be furnished to tenants by section (1) of this rule so that the notice explains the greater rights or protections and retains material that is otherwise required and applicable, or give the notice required under the federal, state or local law and include all material in the notice required by section (1) of this rule that remains applicable; and (b) Include with the notice a copy of the applicable law or order. (3) Facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) shall deliver the notice to which this rule applies either personally or by first class mail, as “first class mail” is defined in ORS 90.100, to each affected tenant. Facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) shall deliver the notice so as to ensure that the tenant is given the full 15 days’ notice. The notice shall be delivered to the tenant at the address specified in the lease or rental agreement between the tenant and the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s). In any sublet unit, the notice shall be delivered to the tenant at the tenant’s current address and to the subtenant in possession. If the tenant's address is unknown and not reasonably discoverable, the notice for the tenant shall be delivered to the subtenant with written instructions to forward it to the tenant. Failure of the subtenant to deliver the notice to the tenant does not limit the facility owner(s)' or landlord's agent(s)' right to terminate the rental agreement because of facility closure. (4) For the notice of closure of a facility or part of a facility that the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) of the facility must give tenants under ORS 90.645(9), the Manufactured and Marina Community Resource Center (MMCRC) establishes the sample form designated for the notice on the Department’s website under the Community Service Division connection. The sample form is also available upon request from the Department.
OAR 813 § 813-065-0120 governs what must happen when a manufactured dwelling facility is closed due to eminent domain or a government order under ORS 90.645(9). The facility owner or landlord's agent must give affected tenants a detailed written notice—including contact information, planned closure activities, copies of relevant statutes and rules, and any greater rights provided by applicable law. Notice must be delivered personally or by first-class mail at least 15 days in advance, reaching each tenant and any subtenant in possession.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under OAR 813 § 813-065-0120, operators facing a government-ordered closure generally provide each affected tenant a written notice that includes their contact address, planned closure activities, copies of ORS 90.645 and OAR chapter 813 division 008, and relevant statutory definitions. If the triggering law grants tenants greater rights—such as government relocation benefits—the notice is updated to reflect those protections and must include a copy of that law or order. Delivery is made personally or by first-class mail to each tenant's address of record, and to any subtenant in possession, with enough lead time to ensure the full 15-day notice period is met. A sample form is available through the MMCRC on the Department's website.

If the applicable government law provides greater protections—such as relocation assistance—the notice must explain those rights as well.
