Laws
According to Oregon law, the landlord must give the renter at least 24 hours’ notice before entering their home.
Statute: ORS § 90.322
Exceptions
In addition to emergencies, the 24-hour rule has a few exceptions:
- The landlord may enter the premises if they have reason to believe the dwelling has been abandoned or the tenant has moved away.
- To deliver notices permitted by law or the rental agreement, landlords always have the right to enter the property, but not the actual rental unit.
- If the tenant asks for repairs in writing, the landlord can enter without notice to make those repairs within seven days of receiving the tenant’s request.
- The landlord and tenant may come to a written agreement stating circumstances where notice isn’t required.
