Maddy summaryHB 2305 allows Oregon landlords to terminate residential leases after a tenant commits a third serious lease violation (such as repeated late rent payments or material breaches like property damage) without giving the tenant a chance to fix the problem. To qualify, landlords must first provide two prior written notices allowing the tenant to correct violations, each including a warning that a third violation will result in no cure option. The third notice must explicitly state the tenant has no right to correct the violation and must specify the cause of termination. This applies to all residential leases, including manufactured home dwellings, and directly affects tenants with recurring lease noncompliance.
