ORS § 90 § 90.750
Right to assemble or canvass in facility; limitations.
Operative Text
No provision contained in any bylaw, rental agreement, regulation or rule pertaining to a facility shall: (1) Infringe upon the right of persons who rent spaces in a facility to peaceably assemble in an open public meeting for any lawful purpose, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, in the common areas or recreational areas of the facility. Reasonable times shall include daily the hours between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. (2) Infringe upon the right of persons who rent spaces in a facility to communicate or assemble among themselves, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, for the purpose of discussing any matter, including but not limited to any matter relating to the facility or manufactured dwelling or floating home living. The discussions may be held in the common areas or recreational areas of the facility, including halls or centers, or any resident’s dwelling unit or floating home. The landlord of a facility, however, may enforce reasonable rules and regulations including but not limited to place, scheduling, occupancy densities and utilities. (3) Prohibit any person who rents a space for a manufactured dwelling or floating home from canvassing other persons in the same facility for purposes described in this section. As used in this subsection, “canvassing” includes door-to-door contact, an oral or written request, the distribution, the circulation, the posting or the publication of a notice or newsletter or a general announcement or any other matter relevant to the membership of a tenants’ association. (4) This section is not intended to require a landlord to permit any person to solicit money, except that a tenants’ association member, whether or not a tenant of the facility, may personally collect delinquent dues owed by an existing member of a tenants’ association. (5) This section is not intended to require a landlord to permit any person to disregard a tenant’s request not to be canvassed.
Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.750 establishes that no rule, bylaw, rental agreement, or facility regulation may restrict the right of manufactured dwelling or floating home space renters to peacefully assemble in common or recreational areas for any lawful purpose, with 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. explicitly recognized as reasonable hours. The provision also protects residents' rights to communicate among themselves about any topic, including facility-related matters, and to canvass fellow residents through door-to-door contact, written notices, newsletters, or other communications related to tenants' association membership. Landlords retain authority to set reasonable rules around scheduling, location, occupancy limits, and utilities, and the provision does not require landlords to allow general solicitation of money or to override an individual tenant's request not to be canvassed.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ORS § 90.750, operators of manufactured dwelling or floating home facilities are generally expected to refrain from adopting or enforcing any rule, lease clause, or regulation that blocks residents from assembling or communicating in common areas during the protected hours of 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Compliant facility managers typically focus any restrictions on neutral, content-neutral operational matters — such as scheduling, occupancy density, and utility use — rather than on the subject matter or purpose of residents' gatherings. Operators should also be aware that while they are not required to permit general money solicitation, they may not prevent a tenants' association member from personally collecting delinquent dues from existing members, and they must respect individual tenants' requests not to be canvassed.

ORS § 90.750 gives residents who rent spaces in manufactured dwelling or floating home facilities a protected right to assemble, communicate, and canvass neighbors in common areas and recreational spaces between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily, as well as in individual dwelling units. This includes distributing newsletters, posting notices, and conducting door-to-door outreach related to tenants' association activities — activities that no lease clause or facility rule can lawfully prohibit. Tenants who believe a facility rule or landlord action is interfering with these rights may consider documenting the restriction, raising it as a defense in any related proceeding, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization or Oregon's state housing resources for general information about enforcement options under this section.
