Explanation
Oregon law protects domestic violence survivors from housing discrimination and wrongful eviction. Landlords cannot: discriminate in housing because someone is a domestic violence, harassment, stalking, or sexual assault survivor; evict a survivor because of incidents related to their victimization; or penalize a survivor for calling law enforcement. Oregon also has provisions allowing survivors to terminate leases early and change locks for safety.
