OAR 813 § 813-065-0240
Payment of Expenses
Operative Text
(1) The tenant and facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) shall agree in writing upon the moving and set-up method and the source of services to be provided for the method not less than the 20th day before the tenant's required moving date. (2) The facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) shall timely pay unpaid billings directly to the vendor and shall reimburse the tenant for appropriate expenses paid directly by the tenant if the tenant submits billings or paid receipts for the expenses within ten days after receiving the billings or receipts. The facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) shall reimburse the tenant not later than the 20th day after the tenant submits the billings or receipts. (3) The facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) may contract directly with vendors for the tenant's move if the services are mutually agreed upon in writing by the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) and tenant and are performed by appropriately registered or licensed and bonded personnel. (4) If the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) and tenant do not reach an agreement in a timely manner prior to the tenant's required moving date, the facility owner(s) or landlord's agent(s) shall timely reimburse the tenant for appropriate moving and set-up expenses consistent with this rule.
OAR 813 § 813-065-0240 governs how moving and set-up expenses are handled when a tenant is required to relocate from a manufactured dwelling facility. The rule requires that the moving method and service sources be agreed upon in writing at least 20 days before the required move date, and that the facility owner or landlord's agent pay vendors directly or reimburse the tenant within 20 days of receiving submitted receipts or billings. If no written agreement is reached in time, the facility owner or landlord's agent is still obligated to reimburse the tenant for appropriate moving and set-up costs consistent with the rule.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under OAR 813 § 813-065-0240, compliant facility owners and landlord's agents document the agreed-upon moving method and service providers in writing no later than 20 days before the tenant's required move date. They pay vendors directly on a timely basis and process tenant reimbursement requests within 20 days of receiving submitted billings or paid receipts. When contracting directly with vendors, operators ensure those vendors are appropriately registered or licensed and bonded, and obtain the tenant's written agreement on the services to be used.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
OAR 813 § 813-065-0240 gives tenants the right to a written agreement on moving and set-up arrangements at least 20 days before a required move, and to reimbursement of appropriate expenses within 20 days of submitting receipts or billings to the facility owner or landlord's agent. Tenants who pay moving costs out of pocket should retain all receipts and submit them promptly—within ten days of receiving them—to preserve their reimbursement rights under this rule. Tenants who believe these obligations are not being met may consider contacting the Oregon Housing and Community Services department, a local tenant-rights organization, or consulting with a legal aid provider to understand available options.
