(2) The owner shall give the notice required by subsection (1) of this section to: (a) All tenants of the facility; or (b) A tenants committee, if there is an existing committee of tenants formed for purposes including the purchase of the facility and with which the owner has met in the 12-month period immediately before delivery of the notice. (3) The owner shall also give the notice required by subsection (1) of this section to the Housing and Community Services Department in the manner prescribed by the department by rule. (4) The notice must include the following: (a) The owner is considering selling the facility. (b) The tenants, through a tenants committee, have an opportunity to compete to purchase the facility. (c) In order to compete to purchase the facility, within 15 days after delivery of the notice, the tenants must form or identify a single tenants committee for the purpose of purchasing the facility and notify the owner in writing of: (A) The tenants’ interest in competing to purchase the facility; and (B) The name and contact information of the representative of the tenants committee with whom the owner may communicate about the purchase. (d) The representative of the tenants committee may request financial information described in ORS 90.844 (2) from the owner within the 15-day period. (e) Information about purchasing a facility is available from the Housing and Community Services Department.
Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.842 establishes a notice requirement that applies whenever a manufactured housing facility owner decides to sell. Before marketing the property or upon receiving a purchase offer they intend to consider — whichever comes first — the owner must notify all tenants (or an existing tenants committee) and the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department in writing. The notice must explain that tenants have the opportunity to compete to buy the facility and must outline the 15-day window in which tenants can organize a single committee and formally express their interest to the owner.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ORS § 90.842, compliant facility owners prepare and deliver written sale notices before listing the property or acting on any offer they intend to consider. The notice goes to all tenants or to a recognized tenants committee with which the owner has met in the prior 12 months, and a separate copy goes to the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department following the department's prescribed process. The notice itself must cover all required content points — including the 15-day response window, the tenants' right to form a purchasing committee, and the availability of departmental resources — to satisfy the statute's requirements.

ORS § 90.842 gives manufactured-facility tenants the right to receive written notice before their facility is marketed for sale or before the owner acts on a purchase offer, along with information about their opportunity to compete as buyers. Once that notice is delivered, tenants have 15 days to form or identify a single tenants committee, notify the owner in writing of their interest, and designate a representative — after which the committee may request financial information about the facility under ORS 90.844(2). Tenants who believe proper notice was not given may wish to contact the Oregon Housing and Community Services Department, consult a tenant-rights organization, or seek independent legal guidance to understand available options.
