OSTA Update: Conference Countdown,HB 3054 Rent Increase Clarifications

Send us a text

Navigating Oregon's tenant protection laws just got easier with this essential update from Bill Bateman and the Oregon State Tenants Association (OSTA) team. We tackle the two questions flooding our inbox: Yes, the OSTA conference is definitely happening, and yes, tickets are still available—though we're already 50% sold out!

Mark your calendars for this information-packed event featuring Representative Pam Marsh as our opening speaker, followed by expert-led workshops designed specifically for manufactured home and marina residents. Doors open at 10:30 AM with coffee and cookies, and the program kicks off at 11:00 AM. We've carefully structured our Q&A session to ensure everyone's most pressing questions get answered, not just those from the loudest voices in the room.

The heart of today's update addresses widespread confusion about HB 3054 and its impact on rent increases. We break down exactly when the new 6% rent cap takes effect (January 2026 for parks with 30+ spaces), while smaller communities maintain their 7% plus CPI cap with a 10% maximum. Through a real-world example from a Salem-area park, we illustrate why landlords cannot issue notices now for 10% increases effective January 2026—and what penalties they might face for trying. We also share a crucial warning about automatic rent payments that could leave you fighting to recover funds if your landlord attempts to collect an illegal increase.

Don't miss this opportunity to get informed about your rights! Secure your conference ticket through our website today, review the full text of these regulations, and join us as we continue advocating for fair housing practices across Oregon. Remember: understanding your rights is the first step toward protecting them.
