Oregon's SB 608 (2019) also established 'just cause' eviction requirements. Under these rules, a landlord may not terminate a tenancy for a fixed-term tenancy with no cause given. For month-to-month tenancies after the first year, allowable causes for termination include:
AAny reason the landlord chooses
BNonpayment of rent, lease violations, owner move-in, substantial rehabilitation, or demolition✓ Correct
COnly nonpayment of rent
DSale of the property to any new buyer
Explanation
Oregon's just cause eviction law (SB 608, 2019) limits the reasons a landlord can terminate a tenancy after the first year. Permitted just cause reasons include: nonpayment of rent, violation of lease terms, repeat violations, property damage, criminal activity, the landlord or close family member moving in, substantial rehabilitation, demolition, or removal from the rental market. Selling to another landlord (not owner-occupant) is generally NOT just cause in jurisdictions with just cause requirements.
