OAR 813 § 813-065-0220
Alternate Facility Space
Operative Text
(1) The facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) shall notify the tenant, in writing, of alternate space to which the tenant can move the floating home at least 45 days before delivering a 180-day notice of termination. (2) The tenant may determine, solely at the judgment and discretion of the tenant, if the alternate space identified in the notice given under section (1) of this rule is acceptable and shall notify the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) in writing of the tenant’s decision not later than the 20th day after the tenant receives the notice. (3) The facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) shall secure the space acceptable to the tenant from the time of acceptance until the date the relocated floating home is approved for the tenant's occupancy. Costs to secure the space for this period must be included in the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s)' paid moving expenses.
OAR 813 § 813-065-0220 establishes a structured notice-and-response process when a floating home tenant faces termination of their space. At least 45 days before issuing a 180-day termination notice, the facility owner or landlord's agent must identify an alternate space in writing where the tenant could relocate their floating home. The tenant then has 20 days to evaluate that alternate space and notify the owner or agent in writing whether it is acceptable. If the tenant accepts the alternate space, the owner or agent is required to hold that space and cover the costs of doing so as part of the paid moving expenses.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under OAR 813 § 813-065-0220, compliant facility owners and landlord's agents provide written notice of an available alternate space at least 45 days before delivering any 180-day termination notice to a floating home tenant. Operators track the 20-day response window and, upon written acceptance by the tenant, promptly secure the identified space and maintain it until the relocated floating home is approved for occupancy. The costs associated with holding that alternate space during this period are treated as part of the required paid moving expenses, so operators generally account for those costs in their relocation planning.

OAR 813 § 813-065-0220 gives floating home tenants the sole right to decide whether an offered alternate space is acceptable, and that decision must be communicated in writing within 20 days of receiving the owner's or agent's notice. If a tenant accepts the alternate space, the facility owner or landlord's agent is obligated to secure it and bear the holding costs as part of paid moving expenses. Tenants who believe these procedural requirements have not been followed may consider contacting the Oregon Housing and Community Services department, a local tenant-rights organization, or a housing attorney to understand available options.
