ORS § 105 § 105.157
Form of eviction trespass notice.
Operative Text
The eviction trespass notice referred to in ORS 105.151 must be in substantially the following form: ______________________________________________________________________________ EVICTION TRESPASS NOTICE Occupants of these premises located at: ___________________________ ___________________________ ___________________________ have been evicted by an order of the court in ___________ vs. ___________, Case Number _________. Trespassing or entering into or upon these premises without written consent of the landlord will result in arrest and prosecution. Any personal property present on these premises at the time this notice was served, (date) _______________, is in the possession of the landlord and may be redeemed by contacting the landlord at: ___________________________ ___________________________ ___________________________ DATED _______________ _______________ SHERIFF ______________________________________________________________________________
ORS § 105.157 specifies the exact form that an eviction trespass notice must take after a court has ordered an eviction under ORS 105.151. The notice must identify the property address, reference the court case by name and number, warn that unauthorized entry constitutes trespassing subject to arrest and prosecution, and inform former occupants how to reclaim any personal property left behind. The notice is signed and dated by the sheriff, making it an official post-eviction document with legal force.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ORS § 105.157, landlords involved in a completed court-ordered eviction should be aware that the sheriff is responsible for posting the eviction trespass notice in the form prescribed by this statute. Compliant operators ensure they are reachable at the contact information included on the notice, since former occupants have the right to reclaim personal property left on the premises by contacting the landlord directly. Keeping clear records of the court case name, number, and the date the notice was served helps landlords respond appropriately to any property-retrieval inquiries.

ORS § 105.157 requires that any eviction trespass notice posted after a court-ordered eviction include specific information, such as the court case details, a contact address for the landlord, and the date the notice was served. If you have personal belongings remaining on the premises, the notice itself must tell you how to contact the landlord to retrieve them. Tenants who believe a posted notice does not conform to the form required by this provision, or who have questions about their rights after eviction, may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Oregon housing law.
