ORS § 90 § 90.230
Rental agreements for occupancy of recreational vehicle in park; remedy for noncompliance; exception.
Operative Text
(1) If a tenancy is for the occupancy of a recreational vehicle in a manufactured dwelling park or mobile home park, as defined in ORS 446.003, or recreational vehicle park, as defined in ORS 197.492, the landlord shall provide a written rental agreement for a month-to-month, week-to-week or fixed-term tenancy. The rental agreement must state: (a) If applicable, that the tenancy may be terminated by the landlord under ORS 90.427 without cause upon 30 or 60 days’ written notice for a month-to-month tenancy or upon 10 days’ written notice for a week-to-week tenancy. (b) That any accessory building or structure paid for or provided by the tenant belongs to the tenant and is subject to a demand by the landlord that the tenant remove the building or structure upon termination of the tenancy. (c) That the tenancy is subject to the requirements of ORS 197.493 (1) for exemption from placement and occupancy restrictions. (2) If a tenant described in subsection (1) of this section moves following termination of the tenancy by the landlord under ORS 90.427, and the landlord failed to provide the required written rental agreement before the beginning of the tenancy, the tenant may recover the tenant’s actual damages or twice the periodic rent, whichever is greater. (3) If the occupancy fails at any time to comply with the requirements of ORS 197.493 (1) for exemption from placement and occupancy restrictions, and a state agency or local government requires the tenant to move as a result of the noncompliance, the tenant may recover the tenant’s actual damages or twice the periodic rent, whichever is greater. This subsection does not apply if the noncompliance was caused by the tenant. (4) This section does not apply to a vacation occupancy.
Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.230 requires landlords to provide a written rental agreement whenever a recreational vehicle occupies a space in a manufactured dwelling park, mobile home park, or recreational vehicle park. That agreement must disclose specific information, including the landlord's right to terminate without cause under certain notice periods, the tenant's ownership of any accessory structures they paid for or provided, and the tenancy's status under land-use exemption requirements. If a landlord fails to provide the required written agreement before the tenancy begins, or if a government agency forces a tenant to relocate due to a land-use exemption failure that was not the tenant's fault, the tenant may be entitled to recover actual damages or twice the periodic rent, whichever is greater. This section does not apply to vacation occupancies.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ORS § 90.230, operators of manufactured dwelling parks, mobile home parks, and recreational vehicle parks who rent spaces to recreational vehicle occupants are generally expected to prepare and deliver a written rental agreement before the tenancy begins. That agreement should clearly disclose the applicable notice periods for no-cause termination, the tenant's ownership rights over any accessory structures they paid for or provided, and the tenancy's relationship to land-use exemption requirements under ORS 197.493(1). Compliant operators document delivery of the agreement prior to move-in, since failure to do so can expose the landlord to a damages remedy equal to the greater of the tenant's actual damages or twice the periodic rent if the tenant is later displaced.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
ORS § 90.230 gives recreational vehicle tenants in covered parks the right to receive a written rental agreement before their tenancy begins, and that agreement must include specific disclosures about termination notice, accessory structures, and land-use exemption status. If a landlord failed to provide the required written agreement before the tenancy started and you were later displaced following a landlord-initiated termination, this provision describes a potential remedy of actual damages or twice the periodic rent, whichever is greater. Tenants who believe their landlord did not comply with § 90.230 may consider reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, Oregon's statewide tenant assistance resources, or a legal aid office to understand what options may be available.
