ORS § 90 § 90.755
Right to speak on political issues; limitations; placement of political signs.
Operative Text
(1) No provision in any bylaw, rental agreement, regulation or rule may infringe upon the right of a person who rents a space for a manufactured dwelling or floating home to invite public officers, candidates for public office or officers or representatives of a tenant organization to appear and speak upon matters of public interest in the common areas or recreational areas of the facility at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner in an open public meeting. The landlord of a facility, however, may enforce reasonable rules and regulations relating to the time, place and scheduling of the speakers that will protect the interests of the majority of the homeowners. (2) The landlord shall allow the tenant to place political signs on or in a manufactured dwelling or floating home owned by the tenant or the space rented by the tenant. The size of the signs and the length of time for which the signs may be displayed are subject to the reasonable rules of the landlord.
Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.755 protects the right of people who rent spaces for manufactured dwellings or floating homes to invite public officials, political candidates, and tenant organization representatives to speak on matters of public interest in the facility's common or recreational areas. Landlords cannot use lease terms, bylaws, or rules to eliminate this right, though they may set reasonable rules about timing, location, and scheduling to protect the broader community's interests. The law also guarantees tenants the ability to display political signs on or in their home or on their rented space, subject to the landlord's reasonable rules on sign size and display duration.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ORS § 90.755, operators of manufactured dwelling or floating home facilities cannot draft lease provisions, bylaws, or facility rules that block tenants from hosting public officials, candidates, or tenant organization representatives for public-interest discussions in shared spaces. Compliant facility managers typically establish written, content-neutral rules addressing scheduling windows, advance notice requirements, and designated areas for such gatherings to protect the interests of the broader resident community. Similarly, landlords generally adopt clear, written policies on political sign dimensions and display periods rather than prohibiting signs outright, since the statute expressly preserves tenants' right to display them.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
ORS § 90.755 gives tenants who rent spaces for manufactured dwellings or floating homes the right to invite public officials, political candidates, and tenant organization representatives to speak in the facility's common or recreational areas at reasonable times, and no lease clause or facility rule can take that right away. Tenants also have the right to display political signs on their home or rented space, though a landlord may apply reasonable, written rules about sign size and how long signs may remain up. If a landlord's rules appear to go beyond what is "reasonable" under § 90.755 or effectively eliminate these rights, tenants may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing complaint options available through Oregon's housing regulatory framework.
