Explanation
Oregon's marital status protection prevents landlords from treating applicants or tenants differently based on whether they are single, married, divorced, widowed, separated, or in a domestic partnership. For example, a landlord cannot refuse to rent to an unmarried couple or demand higher deposits from single tenants. This is an Oregon state law protection not found in the federal FHA.
