The Oregon statewide eviction moratorium has ended as of June 30, 2021. Beginning July 2021 forward, rent is due every month, and tenants can face eviction for nonpayment if rent is not paid on time. No-cause evictions that were allowed prior to COVID-19 are once again allowed.

However, starting July 1, 2021, Oregon Senate Bill 278 provides protection from nonpayment evictions to renters who apply for rent assistance, if they provide documentation of their application to their landlords. This protection lasts for the entire time the application is being processed (ended September 30, 2022). Tenants are encouraged to apply for rent assistance right away if they are unable to pay rent. Tenants must give proof of their application to their landlords as soon as possible, and no later than June 30, 2022 or at or before any first court appearance, whichever is sooner.

Furthermore, until February 28, 2022, evictions cannot be issued for nonpayment of back-due rent, fees, or other charges that accrued between April 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021. Landlords cannot charge late fees for nonpayment of these arrears until March 2022.

The statewide moratorium on foreclosures for nonpayment of mortgages will last until December 31, 2021.
