What are the types of Oregon termination notices?

Short answer

Oregon landlords use several types of termination notices, including 72-hour and 144-hour nonpayment of rent notices (ORS 90.394), for-cause notices for material noncompliance (ORS 90.392), 30-day no-cause notices during the first year of occupancy (ORS 90.427), and 90-day notices with qualifying landlord reason after the first year.

When this comes up

Any time a landlord needs to start a termination process and is deciding which notice fits the situation.

Oregon rule or source to check

ORS 90.394 (nonpayment), ORS 90.392 (for-cause), ORS 90.396 (24-hour notice for serious misconduct), ORS 90.427 (no-cause and qualifying landlord reason), ORS 90.155 (delivery methods).

Practical workflow

1. 1. Diagnose the situation. Is the issue unpaid rent, a lease violation, end of first year, or a qualifying landlord reason (sale, repair, move-in)?
2. 2. Pick the matching notice type. Match the situation to the ORS section. Review the applicable notice category and, if an third-party source form may be appropriate, obtain it directly from third-party form sources.
3. 3. Confirm timing. Each notice type has its own minimum days. Many post-first-year terminations require 90 days plus relocation assistance.
4. 4. Use a permitted delivery method. Personal, first-class mail, or attach-and-mail with mailing days added under ORS 90.155.
5. 5. Document everything. Keep the notice, proof of service, and any supporting documentation for the file.

Common mistakes

Using a no-cause termination after the first year without a qualifying landlord reason, mixing up the 72-hour and 144-hour nonpayment timing, and skipping required relocation assistance where it applies.
