Operative Text
(1) Notwithstanding a change in the rules and regulations of a manufactured dwelling or floating home facility that would prohibit pets, a tenant may keep a pet that is otherwise legally living with the tenant at the time the landlord provides notice of the proposed change to the rules and regulations of the facility. The tenant may replace a pet with a pet similar to the one living with the tenant at the time the landlord provided notice of the proposed change. New rules and regulations that regulate the activities of pets shall apply to all pets in the facility, including those pets that were living in the facility prior to the adoption of the new rules or regulations. (2) A rental agreement between a landlord renting a space for a manufactured dwelling or floating home and a tenant renting the space must comply with the following: (a) A landlord may not charge a one-time, monthly or other periodic amount based on the tenant’s possession of a pet. (b) A landlord may provide written rules regarding control, sanitation, number, type and size of pets. The landlord may require the tenant to sign a pet agreement and to provide proof of liability insurance. The landlord may require the tenant to make the landlord a co-insured for the purpose of receiving notice in the case of cancellation of the insurance. (c) A landlord may charge a tenant an amount for a violation of a written pet agreement or rules relating to pets not to exceed $50 for each violation.
Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.530 governs pet rights and landlord authority in manufactured dwelling and floating home facilities. When a landlord proposes new rules that would ban pets, tenants who already legally keep a pet at the time of that notice are allowed to continue keeping it — and may replace it with a similar pet. Landlords cannot charge recurring or one-time pet fees, but they may establish written pet rules covering things like size, type, and sanitation, and may charge up to $50 per violation of those rules.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ORS § 90.530, operators of manufactured dwelling or floating home facilities cannot impose pet fees — whether one-time, monthly, or periodic — on tenants who keep pets. Compliant facility managers typically maintain written pet rules addressing control, sanitation, number, type, and size, and may require tenants to sign a pet agreement and carry liability insurance naming the landlord as a co-insured for cancellation notice purposes. When a rule change would prohibit pets, operators generally document which pets were present at the time of the notice, since those pets and their like-kind replacements are grandfathered under § 90.530.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
ORS § 90.530 protects tenants in manufactured dwelling and floating home facilities from having a pet ban applied retroactively to a pet they were already legally keeping when the landlord announced the rule change. Tenants also have the right to replace such a pet with a similar one, and cannot be charged any recurring or one-time fee simply for having a pet — though a landlord may charge up to $50 per violation of a written pet agreement. Tenants who believe a landlord has violated § 90.530 may consider contacting Oregon's statewide tenant-rights organizations or consulting a housing attorney to understand the options available to them.
