ORS § 90 § 90.671
Closure of marina; notices; payments to tenants; rules.
Operative Text
(1) If a marina or a portion of the marina that includes a marina space is to be closed and the land or leasehold converted to a different use, and the closure is not required by the exercise of eminent domain or by order of a federal, state or local agency, the landlord of the marina may terminate a month-to-month or fixed term rental agreement for a marina space by giving the tenant: (a) Not less than 365 days’ notice in writing before the date designated in the notice for termination; or (b) Not less than 180 days’ notice in writing before the date designated in the notice for termination, if: (A) The landlord finds space acceptable to the tenant to which the tenant can move the floating home; and (B) The landlord pays the cost of moving and set-up expenses or $3,500, whichever is less. (2) The landlord may: (a) Provide greater financial incentive to encourage the tenant to accept an earlier termination date than that provided in subsection (1) of this section; or (b) Contract with the tenant for a mutually acceptable arrangement to assist the tenant’s move. (3) The Housing and Community Services Department shall adopt rules to administer this section. (4)(a) A landlord may not increase the rent for a dwelling unit for the purpose of offsetting the payments required under this section. (b) A landlord may not increase the rent for a dwelling unit after giving a notice of termination under this section to the tenant. (5) Nothing in subsection (1) of this section shall prevent a landlord from relocating a floating home to another comparable space in the same marina, or in another marina owned by the same owner in the same city, if the landlord desires or is required to make repairs, to remodel or to modify the tenant’s original space. (6) This section does not limit a landlord’s right to terminate a tenancy for nonpayment of rent under ORS 90.394 or for other cause under ORS 90.380 (5)(b), 90.396, 90.398 or 90.632 by complying with ORS 105.100 to 105.168. (7) If a landlord is required to close a marina by the exercise of eminent domain or by order of a federal, state or local agency, the landlord shall notify the marina tenants no later than 15 days after the landlord receives notice of the exercise of eminent domain or of the agency order. The notice to the tenants shall be in writing, designate the date of closure, state the reason for the closure and describe any government relocation benefits known by the landlord to be available to the tenants.
ORS § 90.671 governs the closure of marinas in Oregon when the land is being converted to a different use. Unless the closure is mandated by eminent domain or a government agency order, landlords must give floating-home tenants at least 365 days' written notice—or 180 days if the landlord finds acceptable replacement space and covers moving costs up to $3,500. Landlords are prohibited from raising rent to offset these payments or after issuing a closure notice, and the Housing and Community Services Department is responsible for adopting rules to administer this section.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ORS § 90.671, marina operators planning a voluntary closure and land-use conversion generally provide at least 365 days' written notice to floating-home tenants, or 180 days if they secure acceptable replacement space and pay moving costs up to $3,500. Compliant operators do not raise rents to recoup closure-related payments or after a termination notice has been issued. Landlords who receive an eminent domain or agency-ordered closure notice must inform tenants in writing within 15 days, including the closure date, reason, and any known government relocation benefits.

ORS § 90.671 gives floating-home tenants in Oregon significant notice protections when a marina closes for a land-use conversion. Tenants are generally entitled to at least 365 days' written notice, or 180 days if the landlord arranges comparable replacement space and covers relocation costs up to $3,500—and landlords cannot raise rent after issuing that notice. Tenants who believe these protections have been violated may contact the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
