ORS § 90 § 90.113
Additional exclusion from application of chapter.
Operative Text
Residence in a licensed program, facility or home described in ORS 430.306 to 430.375, 430.380, 430.381, 430.397 to 430.401, 430.405 to 430.565, 430.570, 430.590, 430.709, 443.400 to 443.455, 443.705 to 443.825 or 443.835 is not governed by this chapter.
Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.113 establishes that people living in certain licensed programs, facilities, or homes — specifically those operating under the behavioral health, mental health, addiction treatment, and residential care licensing statutes listed in the provision — are not covered by Oregon's residential landlord-tenant law (ORS Chapter 90). This means the rights, obligations, and procedures that normally apply to rental housing relationships do not apply to these living arrangements. Instead, the rules governing those licensed settings are determined by the specific licensing statutes under which each facility or program operates.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of licensed programs, facilities, or homes that fall within the statutory categories referenced in ORS § 90.113 — such as behavioral health residential programs and certain care facilities — generally confirm that their licensing framework, rather than ORS Chapter 90, governs the residential relationship with occupants. Compliant operators typically document their facility's licensing status and communicate clearly to residents which regulatory framework applies to their stay. Because ORS Chapter 90 protections such as eviction procedures and habitability requirements do not apply in these settings, operators look to the applicable licensing statutes for guidance on resident rights and facility obligations.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
If you reside in a licensed program, facility, or home of the type described in ORS § 90.113, Oregon's standard residential landlord-tenant law does not apply to your living situation. This means that the tenant protections found elsewhere in ORS Chapter 90 — such as notice requirements for termination or habitability remedies — are generally not available to you through that chapter. Residents in these settings may wish to review the specific licensing statutes that do apply to their facility, contact Oregon's relevant licensing agencies, or reach out to a tenant-rights or disability-rights organization to understand what protections and grievance processes are available to them.
