Oregon Sets 2027 Rent Increase Cap at 10% for Most Covered Rentals

Oregon — The Oregon Department of Administrative Services announced Monday that the maximum allowable rent increase for most tenancies covered by the state’s rent stabilization law will be 10% in 2027, up from 9.5% in 2026.

A separate 6% limit applies to covered tenants renting spaces in manufactured dwelling facilities and marinas with more than 30 spaces. For facilities with 30 or fewer spaces, the 2027 limit is 10%, the same as for tenancy types covered by ORS 90.323.

State law directs DAS to calculate the annual limit by Sept. 30. For most covered tenancies and smaller facilities, the formula allows the lesser of 10% or 7% plus the applicable Consumer Price Index measure. The state’s 2027 calculation places next year’s limit at 10%. The 6% limit for larger facilities is set separately in law.

The percentages are maximums, not automatic increases. Whether a landlord can raise a particular tenant’s rent also depends on the tenancy, notice requirements and any applicable exemption. Under Oregon law, the general rent cap does not apply to certain newer dwelling units whose first certificate of occupancy was issued less than 15 years before the rent increase notice, or to some regulated affordable housing. oregonlegislature.gov

DAS corrected its 2026 announcement last year to clarify that the limit for most covered tenancies was 9.5%, while the limit for larger manufactured dwelling facilities and marinas was 6%. Department of Administrative Services
