ORS 90.322 requires an Oregon landlord to give the tenant at least 24 hours' actual notice before entering the dwelling and to enter only at reasonable times for a lawful purpose such as inspection, repairs, services, or showing the unit. Entry without notice is allowed only in an emergency or when the tenant requests repairs.
Under ORS 90.322(1), a landlord may enter to inspect, make repairs, supply services, perform agreed yard maintenance, or show the unit, but 'the landlord shall give the tenant at least 24 hours' actual notice of the intent of the landlord to enter' and may enter 'only at reasonable times.' No notice is required in a genuine emergency, though the landlord must give 24-hour notice afterward if the tenant was absent. A tenant who requested repairs need not receive further notice, but that consent expires after seven days. A tenant may deny entry by giving actual notice before or at the time of the attempted entry.
A landlord who unlawfully enters, or demands entry in a way that harasses the tenant, is liable under ORS 90.322(7) for actual damages or one week's rent, whichever is greater, and the tenant may obtain injunctive relief or terminate the tenancy.
