Tigard, OR Rental Property Rules: Just Cause Eviction (2026)

Tigard relies entirely on Oregon's statewide framework for just-cause eviction; the Tigard Municipal Code does not contain a city-specific just-cause chapter, no local relocation-assistance ordinance, and no local enforcement body for landlord-tenant matters beyond the standard Oregon courts. The controlling law is Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 90 (Residential Landlord and Tenant), particularly ORS 90.427, as amended by Senate Bill 608 (2019). During the first 12 months of occupancy of a month-to-month tenancy, ORS 90.427 permits the landlord to terminate without cause on 30 days' written notice (or 60 days if the tenant has occupied the dwelling for one year or more in some configurations). After the first 12 months, no-cause termination is prohibited statewide; the landlord may terminate only for: tenant-based cause (nonpayment of rent, material lease violation, repeat violations, criminal activity, outrageous conduct) under ORS 90.392 and related sections, or qualifying landlord-based cause under ORS 90.427(5) which includes intent to demolish or convert the dwelling to a non-residential use, intent to undertake repairs or renovations that make the unit unsafe or unfit for occupancy, intent to move the landlord or an immediate family member into the unit where the landlord does not own a comparable unit, or sale of the dwelling to a buyer who intends to occupy. Landlord-based-cause terminations require 90 days' written notice that specifies the reason and the supporting facts. Landlords who own more than four residential dwelling units must pay the tenant a relocation assistance fee equal to one month's rent. Fixed-term tenancies generally renew as month-to-month at the end of the term unless the landlord delivers a qualifying landlord-cause notice. Tigard does not layer additional notice periods, relocation amounts, or for-cause categories on top of these state rules.
