For nonpayment of rent under ORS 90.394, an Oregon landlord must serve written notice giving 10 days to pay (no sooner than the 8th day of the period) or 13 days (no sooner than the 5th day); week-to-week tenancies get 72 hours. For-cause terminations under ORS 90.392 generally require 30 days' notice with a chance to cure.
ORS 90.394 requires a written nonpayment notice that states the rent owed and the deadline to cure. A landlord may give 'at least 10 days' written notice of nonpayment' no sooner than the eighth day of the period, or 'at least 13 days' notice' no sooner than the fifth day; for a week-to-week tenancy the notice is '72 hours.' These day-based periods replaced the former 72-hour and 144-hour notices when HB 2001 took effect in 2023. For other violations, ORS 90.392 generally requires a 30-day written notice specifying the cause and allowing the tenant to cure, with a shorter notice for serious or repeated conduct. Only after the notice expires uncured may the landlord file an eviction (FED) action.
No specific statutory penalty for serving notice, but a defective or premature notice is grounds for dismissal of the eviction. Under ORS 90.255 and 90.360, a tenant who prevails may recover prevailing-party fees and damages for a wrongful or retaliatory termination.
