Oregon Late fee grace period

Last reviewed 2026-10-23

Is there a grace period before a late fee can be charged in Oregon?

A late fee is allowed only if rent is not received by the 4th day of the weekly or monthly rental period and a written agreement sets the fee, so fees can begin on day 5.

Late fees

Only if rent is not received by the 4th day of the period and a written agreement sets out the fee. Limits: a reasonable flat fee once per period, or a daily fee up to 6% of that flat amount, or 5% of the rent per 5-day period. Unpaid late fees alone are not grounds for a nonpayment eviction.

Week-to-week: 72 hours' written notice, given no sooner than day 5 of the period. Other tenancies: 10 days' notice (given no sooner than day 8) or 13 days' notice under the alternate timing in the statute.
