Eugene ADUs may be rented for long-term use without owner-occupancy under Oregon HB 2001 and HB 3197. Short-term rentals (under 30 days) are regulated by Eugene Code Chapter 9 (Land Use Code) provisions on vacation rentals and require business registration. Statewide rent stabilization and just-cause eviction apply to long-term tenants.
Eugene allows long-term rental of ADUs without owner-occupancy under Oregon HB 2001 (ORS 197.312) and HB 3197 (2023). For short-term rentals (under 30 consecutive days), Eugene regulates vacation rentals through Eugene Code Chapter 9 (Land Use Code), which addresses use classification and dwelling unit standards. Vacation rentals operating in Eugene are subject to Oregon's Transient Lodging Tax under ORS Chapter 320 (1.5% state) plus the Lane County Transient Room Tax and any Eugene local lodging tax. Booking platforms collect and remit certain taxes on hosts' behalf. Operating a short-term rental as a business in Eugene requires compliance with applicable business registration and zoning. Long-term tenants benefit from Oregon's statewide rent stabilization (annual increase limited to 7% plus CPI, capped under SB 611 of 2023 at 10% maximum) and just-cause eviction protections under ORS 90.427 after the first 12 months of tenancy. Security deposits, notice periods, and habitability are governed by the Oregon Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (ORS Chapter 90).
Operating an unregistered vacation rental may violate Eugene Code Chapter 9 land use standards and result in zoning enforcement. Failure to remit transient lodging taxes triggers Oregon Department of Revenue and Lane County collections. Long-term tenant evictions without just cause violate ORS 90.427 and create wrongful eviction liability. Habitability violations under ORS 90.320 are enforceable through state court.
