How do rent increases work on Oregon week-to-week tenancies?

Short answer

Week-to-week tenancies in Oregon use shorter notice periods than month-to-month, but the rent cap and 12-month gap rules under ORS 90.324 still apply. Always check ORS 90.323 for the current notice timing applicable to week-to-week tenancies before serving.

When this comes up

Short-term residential rentals structured as week-to-week, certain shared-housing arrangements, and unusual lease structures.

Oregon rule or source to check

ORS 90.323 covers notice for week-to-week increases. ORS 90.324 still caps the percentage. ORS 90.155 covers service mechanics.

Practical workflow

1. Confirm tenancy type. Verify the agreement is genuinely week-to-week and not a month-to-month rebranded as weekly billing.
2. Look up current notice timing. Read the current ORS 90.323 text — week-to-week notice timing is shorter than the 90-day month-to-month rule.
3. Apply the cap. Cap calculation is the same as monthly: use the current Oregon DAS published percentage.
4. Use a written notice. Even for week-to-week, written form and a permitted delivery method under ORS 90.155 are the safer practice.
5. Document and update. Keep proof of service and update the ledger.

Common mistakes

Treating the 90-day month-to-month period as automatic for week-to-week, ignoring the 12-month rule, and missing the cap on small dollar increases that still cross the percentage limit.

A short written notice and a service log; many landlords still use a month-to-month template adjusted for week-to-week timing.
