OSTA Update HB3054A is out of Committee

Send us a text

The fight for mobile home residents' rights hangs by a thread in Oregon as HB 3054 narrowly passed the House Housing Committee on a straight party-line vote. Had just one Democrat voted differently, the bill would have failed, highlighting the precarious position of tenant protections in manufactured housing communities.

Behind these legislative battles are real people facing increasingly aggressive tactics from park owners and management companies. From arbitrary demands to remove decade-old landscaping to the elimination of promised amenities like laundry facilities, residents across Oregon report troubling patterns of overreach that threaten their security and quality of life. Most alarming are situations like the one developing in Forest Grove, where allegations of assault and intoxicated threats have created an atmosphere of fear among community members.

These challenges underscore why OSTA (Oregon State Tenants Association) continues advocating for stronger protections. Far too often, park owners implement unilateral rule changes or ignore infrastructure problems like flooding with apparent impunity, believing residents don't know their rights under Oregon law. But knowledge is power, and as HB 3054 A moves to the House floor, now is the critical moment for residents and allies to make their voices heard. Contact your representatives today – thank those who support fair housing protections and respectfully engage with those who oppose them. Your home and community depend on it.
