The Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) published the annual maximum rent increase allowed by statute for calendar year 2025. The DAS Office of Economic Analysis has calculated the maximum percentage as 10%.
The rent increase percentage is determined through a specific statutory formula established in 2019 that considers:
- The 12-month average change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (West Region)
- A maximum cap of 10%
This applies to residential rental units that are 15 years and older. Only one rent increase is permitted within a 12-month period.
Since the implementation of rent increase regulations in 2019, the annual rate has consistently remained between 9% and 10%, with a significant adjustment in 2023 establishing a definitive 10% cap.
Information about the maximum annual rent increase percentage, as well as the provisions of Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 90.323 and 90.600 (statutes governing rent increases), can be found on the Office of Economic Analysis's website:
