Oregon Repairs and habitability remedies

Last reviewed 2026-10-23

What can a tenant do if the landlord won't make repairs in Oregon?

After written notice, a tenant may have a minor habitability defect repaired (up to $300; mold, radon, asbestos and lead paint are excluded) and deduct the cost from rent. The statute also provides other remedies for essential services and material noncompliance.
