In 2013 the Oregon Legislature made a series of changes to the landlord-tenant laws for 2014. Below is a summary:
Senate Bill 91
Tenant Liability Insurance.
- A landlord may require a tenant to obtain and maintain renter’s liability insurance upon the following conditions:
- It may not exceed $100,000 per occurrence (or the customary amount required by landlords for similar properties with similar rents in the same market, whichever is greater).
- Before entering into a new tenancy, the landlord:
- Must advise the applicant in writing of the insurance requirement and the amount of coverage;
- May require proof of coverage before the tenancy commences;
- Must include in the rental agreement the insurance requirements under the statute. [For rest of this post, go to link here.]
