Applicability of other statutory lien, tenancy and rent provisions; applicability of ORS 90.100 to 90.465 and 90.505 to 90.850.
Operative Text
(1) The provisions of ORS 87.152 to 87.212, 91.010 to 91.110, 91.130, 91.210 and 91.220 do not apply to the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants governed by this chapter. (2) Any provisions of this chapter that reasonably apply only to the structure that is used as a home, residence or sleeping place do not apply to a manufactured dwelling, recreational vehicle or floating home where the tenant owns the manufactured dwelling, recreational vehicle or floating home but rents the space on which it is located. (3) The provisions of ORS 90.505 to 90.850: (a) Do not apply to recreational vehicles located inside or outside of a facility. (b) Apply only if: (A) The tenant owns the manufactured dwelling or floating home; (B) The tenant rents the space on which the dwelling or home is located; and (C) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, the space is in a facility. (4) ORS 90.512, 90.514, 90.516 and 90.518 apply to a converted rental space as defined in ORS 90.512 regardless of whether the converted rental space is in a facility. (5) Residential tenancies not subject to ORS 90.505 to 90.850 under subsection (3) of this section are subject to ORS 90.100 to 90.465. Tenancies described in this subsection include tenancies for: (a) Any recreational vehicle; (b) A manufactured dwelling or floating home, located inside or outside of a facility, if the tenant rents both the dwelling or home and the space; and (c) A manufactured dwelling or floating home, located outside a facility, if the tenant owns the dwelling or home and rents the space.
ORS § 90.120 establishes which parts of Oregon landlord-tenant law apply to different housing arrangements. It carves out manufactured dwellings, recreational vehicles, and floating homes from certain general tenancy and lien statutes, and it draws a clear line between two sets of rules: ORS 90.505–90.850 governs situations where a tenant owns a manufactured dwelling or floating home and rents only the land beneath it within a qualifying facility, while ORS 90.100–90.465 governs most other residential tenancies, including all recreational vehicle tenancies and arrangements where the tenant rents both the dwelling and the space. Converted rental spaces defined under ORS 90.512 receive special treatment regardless of whether they sit inside a formal facility.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ORS § 90.120, operators of manufactured dwelling parks, RV parks, and floating home facilities must identify which legal framework governs each tenancy before applying lease terms, notice requirements, or other obligations. Landlords whose residents own their dwelling but rent only the lot within a qualifying facility generally operate under ORS 90.505–90.850, while those who rent both the dwelling and the space to a tenant operate under ORS 90.100–90.465. Compliant operators typically maintain clear records distinguishing ownership status of the dwelling from the rental arrangement for the space, since that distinction determines which statutory protections and procedures apply.

ORS § 90.120 determines which set of Oregon tenant protections covers your housing arrangement, and knowing which framework applies is a foundational step in understanding your rights. If you own your manufactured dwelling or floating home but rent the lot inside a qualifying facility, the protections in ORS 90.505–90.850 generally apply to you; if you rent both the dwelling and the space, or if you live in a recreational vehicle, ORS 90.100–90.465 is the relevant framework. Tenants who are uncertain which set of rules governs their situation may find it helpful to consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office familiar with Oregon housing law.
