MINOR

This bill allows tenants to end fixed-term leases early without penalty if their landlord gives them a notice to terminate the lease at least 90 days before the lease ends. The tenant can then provide their own 30-day notice to vacate the property. This change gives tenants more flexibility and protection when landlords decide not to renew long-term leases.

Scope change

The bill applies to fixed-term residential tenancies in Oregon and applies to rental agreements entered on or after the effective date of the 2025 Act.

ELIGIBILITY

Tenants can terminate fixed-term leases early without penalty if the landlord provides a termination notice at least 90 days before the lease expires.

REQUIREMENT

Landlords cannot charge early termination fees or collect unpaid rent after the tenant provides a 30-day notice to vacate under this provision.
