Explanation
Under ORS Chapter 90, if a landlord fails to make required repairs within a reasonable time (typically 30 days, or 24 hours for emergency issues), tenants may terminate the agreement or use the repair-and-deduct remedy (limited to one month's rent per repair incident). This gives tenants meaningful leverage to enforce habitability standards.
