ORS § 90 § 90.634
Prohibition against lien for rent; action for possession; disposition of dwelling or home; disposition of goods.
Operative Text
(1) A landlord may not assert a lien under ORS 87.162 for dwelling unit rent against a manufactured dwelling or floating home located in a facility. Notwithstanding ORS 90.100 (51) and 90.675 and regardless of whether the owner of a manufactured dwelling or floating home occupies the dwelling or home as a residence, a facility landlord that is entitled to unpaid rent and receives possession of the facility space from the sheriff following restitution pursuant to ORS 105.161 may sell or dispose of the dwelling or home as provided in ORS 90.675. (2) If a manufactured dwelling or floating home was occupied immediately prior to abandonment by a person other than the facility tenant, and the name and address of the person are known to the landlord, a landlord selling or disposing of the dwelling or home under subsection (1) of this section shall promptly send the person a copy of the notice sent to the facility tenant under ORS 90.675 (3). Notwithstanding ORS 90.425, the facility landlord may sell or dispose of goods left in the dwelling or home or upon the dwelling unit by the person in the same manner as if the goods were left by the facility tenant. If the name and address of the person are known to the facility landlord, the landlord shall promptly send the person a copy of the written notice sent to the facility tenant under ORS 90.425 (3) and allow the person the time described in the notice to arrange for removal of the goods.
ORS § 90.634 establishes that a landlord operating a manufactured dwelling or floating home facility cannot place a lien on a resident's dwelling or home as a way to collect unpaid rent. However, if a landlord lawfully regains possession of the facility space through a sheriff's restitution process, the landlord may sell or dispose of the dwelling or home following the procedures set out in ORS 90.675. When a dwelling was occupied by someone other than the facility tenant just before abandonment, that occupant must receive the same notices about the dwelling and any goods left behind as the tenant would receive under the applicable statutes.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ORS § 90.634, facility operators are prohibited from using a lien under ORS 87.162 as a tool to recover unpaid rent from a manufactured dwelling or floating home. A compliant facility landlord who regains possession of a space through the sheriff following restitution instead follows the disposition procedures in ORS 90.675 for the dwelling and ORS 90.425 for personal goods. When the landlord knows the name and address of a prior occupant who is not the facility tenant, compliant practice includes promptly sending that person copies of all required notices and allowing the time specified in those notices for the removal of any goods left behind.

ORS § 90.634 protects owners of manufactured dwellings and floating homes in Oregon facilities from having their dwelling seized through a rent lien, a remedy that is explicitly prohibited under this provision. If you are a prior occupant—not the facility tenant—and the landlord knows your contact information, you are entitled to receive the same statutory notices about the dwelling and any personal property left behind as the tenant would receive under ORS 90.675 and ORS 90.425. Tenants and occupants who believe these notice rights have not been honored may consider contacting a local tenant-rights organization or Oregon's legal aid services to understand the options available under this provision.
