Legal Term
Oregon Landlord Entry Notice for Maintenance and Repairs
Legal Definition
Under Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.322, a landlord must provide a tenant with at least 24 hours written notice before entering a rental unit for non-emergency maintenance, repairs, or improvements, except in specific circumstances like tenant consent or a court order. The notice must state the date, approximate time (between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.), and purpose of entry.
In Plain English
In Oregon, your landlord generally can't just walk into your apartment. They must give you a written note at least one day in advance saying when they're coming and why, unless it's a true emergency or you agree to let them in.
