Oregon Rent Increase Limit 2026: 9.5% Maximum, 6% Facility Rule & Notice Requirements

The short answer

Oregon's Department of Administrative Services publishes the annual maximum rent increase percentage. For 2026, the maximum is 9.5% for ordinary covered tenancies subject to ORS 90.323 and for qualifying manufactured-home or marina facilities with 30 or fewer spaces.

A separate 6% maximum applies in 2026 to tenancies subject to ORS 90.600(1) in manufactured-home or marina facilities with more than 30 spaces. These figures do not eliminate exemptions, tenancy timing rules or other statutory requirements.

Why Oregon has both a 9.5% and a 6% number

The two percentages apply to different statutory categories. Oregon's ordinary annual maximum is calculated as the lesser of 10% or 7% plus CPI for the covered tenancy types identified by statute. For 2026, that calculation produced 9.5%.

For certain larger manufactured-home and marina facilities with more than 30 spaces, Oregon law uses a separate 6% maximum. Property type and facility size therefore matter before applying a percentage.

Notice and timing still matter

A percentage ceiling does not replace Oregon's notice and timing rules. Before serving an increase, landlords should verify the tenancy type, property age or exemption status, when the last increase took effect, and the notice period required by the applicable section of Oregon landlord-tenant law.

A fixed-term lease can also control when a rent change is permitted. The effective date should be checked against both the lease and the current statute rather than assuming the annual percentage alone authorizes an increase.

What to calculate before sending or paying an increase

Start with the current rent and proposed rent, calculate the percentage difference, identify which Oregon statutory category applies, and compare the result with the published 2026 maximum. Then confirm the required notice and effective date.

For manufactured-home parks and marinas, verify the number of spaces and the governing statutory subsection before relying on 9.5% or 6%.

Common mistake: using last year's number

Oregon's annual maximum changes by calendar year. The state reports that the 2025 allowable percentage was 10.0%, while the published maximum for 2026 is 9.5% for the ordinary covered category.

A current article and current government source matter because older search results can remain visible after the annual number changes.

2027 watch: Oregon has not posted the next annual percentage yet

As of September 23, 2026, the Oregon Department of Administrative Services Rent Stabilization page still publishes the 2026 percentages—9.5% for the ordinary covered category and 6% for the specified larger manufactured-dwelling or marina facilities. The same official page says DAS must calculate the maximum annual percentage for the following calendar year no later than September 30 each year.

Do not carry the 2026 9.5% number forward into a 2027 notice simply because the next percentage has not appeared yet. If an increase will take effect in 2027, recheck the official DAS page after the state posts the 2027 calculation, then verify coverage, timing and any exemption under current Oregon law. This page should be strengthened in place when that official percentage is published rather than creating a competing 2027 URL.
