I support, and will do everything in my power, to enact these following Renters’ Rights protections:
Require 6 months notice on all rent increases.
Relocation assistance available when rent hikes exceed 5%
End school year evictions of children and education workers for late rent.
End evictions for late rent during extreme weather events
Cap ‘pet rent’ , laundry fees, credit check fees and other unfair, excessive fees and deposits.
Ban rent hikes when code violations exist.
Establish a right to counsel in Eviction Court. No tenant should go to court without legal defense provided
I will also support all efforts at the Oregon Legislature allow a minimum wage worker to afford an average one bedroom apartment with 30% of their salary and to end the State’s ban on local Rent Control.
