Tigard, OR Rental Property Rules: Rent Control (2026)

Tigard has not enacted any city-level rent control ordinance; statewide rent stabilization under ORS 90.323 is the entire rent-cap regime that applies to a Tigard rental. SB 608 (2019), which amended ORS 90.323, sets the maximum annual rent increase at the lesser of: (a) 7 percent plus the September-to-September West Region CPI-U from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for the preceding year, or (b) 10 percent. The Oregon Department of Administrative Services calculates and publishes the official maximum each year by September 30 for the following calendar year. For 2026, DAS has set the maximum at 9.5 percent. Statutory exemptions in ORS 90.323 include: (1) dwelling units in a building for which the first certificate of occupancy was issued less than 15 years before the rent increase notice (a rolling exemption to encourage new construction); and (2) dwelling units that are subject to a regulatory agreement with a government agency providing a reduced rent based on income (subsidized housing covered by other regulatory caps). Landlords statewide may not increase rent more than once in any 12-month period regardless of the percentage increase. The statute requires 90 days' written notice of any rent increase. Tigard does not impose a different city percentage, does not require landlord registration tied to rent increases, and does not operate a local rent board or appeals body; enforcement runs through Oregon courts under ORS Chapter 105 and the underlying landlord-tenant provisions of ORS Chapter 90.
