Explanation
Oregon ORLTA gives tenants multiple remedies for habitability failures: they can provide written notice to the landlord, allow a reasonable time to repair, and if not repaired, may terminate the lease, repair-and-deduct, or seek a rent reduction through court action. Tenants cannot simply withhold rent without following proper procedures.
