ORS § 90 § 90.525
Unreasonable conditions of rental or occupancy prohibited; notice of rights.
Operative Text
(1) A landlord may not impose conditions of rental or occupancy which unreasonably restrict the tenant or prospective tenant in choosing a fuel supplier, furnishings, goods, services or accessories. (2) A landlord may not prohibit a tenant from engaging a real estate agent or a licensed manufactured structure dealer of the tenant’s choice to facilitate the sale or sublease allowed under ORS 90.555 of the tenant’s manufactured dwelling or floating home. (3) The landlord of a facility may not require the prospective tenant to purchase a manufactured dwelling or floating home from a particular dealer or one of a group of dealers. (4) A landlord renting a space for a manufactured dwelling or floating home may not give preference to a prospective tenant who purchased a manufactured dwelling or floating home from a particular dealer. (5) A manufactured dwelling or floating home dealer may not, as a condition of sale, require a purchaser to rent a space for a manufactured dwelling or floating home in a particular facility or one of a group of facilities, except that a dealer who is a landlord of a facility may require a purchaser of a dwelling or home from the landlord to rent a space for the dwelling or home in the landlord’s facility. (6) At the time of evaluating an applicant under ORS 90.303 or a prospective purchaser under ORS 90.680 (10)(a) or upon the execution of a rental agreement, whichever is earlier, the landlord of a facility shall provide the applicant, purchaser or tenant a copy of an informational handout regarding rights of tenants and landlords when a tenant is selling a manufactured dwelling or floating home in a facility, in a form prescribed by the Housing and Community Services Department.
Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.525 establishes several protections against coercive or restrictive practices in the rental of spaces for manufactured dwellings and floating homes. Landlords are barred from imposing conditions that unreasonably limit a tenant's choice of fuel suppliers, goods, services, or real estate professionals, and from steering prospective tenants toward particular dealers. Dealers, in turn, generally cannot tie a home sale to a requirement that the buyer rent space in a specific facility. Landlords are also required to provide applicants and tenants with an informational handout—prescribed by the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department—about the rights of both parties when a tenant sells a manufactured dwelling or floating home.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ORS § 90.525, operators of manufactured dwelling or floating home facilities are expected to avoid any rental conditions that restrict a tenant's free choice of vendors, service providers, or real estate professionals. Compliant facility landlords do not favor applicants based on which dealer sold them their home, and they do not require prospective tenants to purchase from a specific dealer or group of dealers. At or before the execution of a rental agreement—or when evaluating an applicant under ORS 90.303 or a prospective purchaser under ORS 90.680—facility landlords provide the required informational handout in the form prescribed by the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department.

ORS § 90.525 gives tenants in manufactured dwelling and floating home facilities the right to choose their own fuel suppliers, goods, service providers, and real estate agents or licensed manufactured structure dealers when selling or subleasing their home under ORS 90.555, free from landlord interference. Tenants are also entitled to receive an informational handout about their rights regarding home sales in a facility, which the landlord is required to provide at the time of application or lease signing. Tenants who believe these protections have been violated may wish to contact the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department, consult a tenant-rights organization, or explore whether a violation of § 90.525 may be raised in a relevant legal proceeding.
