Tips for renting in Hillsboro, OR

You’ll love living in Hillsboro, OR. But first, let's take a moment to share some of the local tenant laws.

Oregon does not allow for rent control, so once your lease period ends, your landlord can increase the rent as much as they see fit. But they have to give you 90 days’ notice.

If repairs need to be made and the landlord refuses to make them, you're able to take care of the repairs on your own and deduct the cost from your rent. But you have to provide written notice to your landlord first, as well as provide receipts for the work once it's done.

Rental agreements vary from place-to-place. Make sure to read yours in its entirety so you understand what the landlord expects of you and vice versa.
