ORS § 90 § 90.875
Remedy for failure to give notice.
Operative Text
If a seller fails to provide notice under ORS 90.870, a buyer, landlord or secured party without actual notice that suffers an ascertainable loss as a result of the failure may bring an individual action to recover actual damages or $200, whichever is greater.
ORS § 90.875 establishes a remedy when a seller of a manufactured dwelling or floating home park fails to give the notice required by ORS 90.870. Any buyer, landlord, or secured party who lacked actual knowledge of the relevant facts and suffers a measurable financial loss because of that omission may pursue a legal claim. The remedy available is either the claimant's actual damages or $200, whichever amount is larger.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ORS § 90.875, a landlord who acquires a manufactured dwelling park or floating home park and did not receive the required ORS 90.870 notice from the seller has standing to seek compensation if a quantifiable loss results. Compliant operators in the seller role ensure that all required pre-sale disclosures are delivered in writing and documented before closing, reducing exposure to these claims. Retaining records of notice delivery is a standard practice that supports demonstrating compliance if a dispute arises.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
ORS § 90.875 is primarily directed at buyers, landlords, and secured parties rather than tenants, but tenants in manufactured dwelling or floating home parks may benefit indirectly when landlords enforce disclosure obligations against sellers. If you believe a failure to provide the ORS 90.870 notice has affected your housing situation, tenant-rights organizations in Oregon can help clarify whether this provision is relevant to your circumstances. General information is also available through Oregon's state housing resources and legal aid offices.
