What is the Oregon rent increase limit for 2026?

Short answer

The 2026 Oregon statewide rent increase limit is the maximum allowable percentage published by the Oregon Department of Administrative Services under the ORS 90.324 formula. The current published 2026 figure is 9.5%, but landlords should always verify the figure on the DAS rent stabilization page before serving a notice.

When this comes up

This question often comes up when a landlord is planning a rent change with an effective date in 2026 - for example, a notice served in late 2025 that takes effect in early 2026. The applicable cap is tied to the calendar year of the effective date, not the date the notice is served.

Oregon rule or source to check

ORS 90.324 directs the Oregon Department of Administrative Services to publish, by September 30 each year, the maximum allowable annual rent increase for the following calendar year. The statutory formula is the lower of 10% or 7% plus the West Region CPI. Manufactured-home parks with more than 30 spaces under ORS 90.600(1) may be subject to a separate, lower cap.

Practical workflow

1. 1. Practical workflow. 1) Open the DAS rent stabilization page and confirm the 2026 published number before drafting notice. 2) Confirm the effective date you intend to use falls in 2026. 3) Calculate the proposed percentage change and verify it is at or below the published limit. 4) Check whether any local ordinance adds requirements at certain increase levels. 5) Prepare the 90-day written notice for service under ORS 90.155.
2. 2. Common mistakes. Relying on a third-party article rather than the DAS publication; applying the 2025 cap to a 2026 effective date; forgetting that the cap is a ceiling, not a target; and missing a separate, lower cap that may apply to qualifying manufactured-home parks.
3. 3. Related forms or workflows. A 90-day written rent increase notice that states the current rent, the new rent, the dollar and percent change, and the effective date. If an third-party source form is needed, obtain it directly from third-party form sources.
