Portland
The city that made landlords pay renters to leave - on top of Oregon's statewide rent cap
01
Relocation assistance
If a Portland landlord raises rent about 10%+ and you have to move, or ends a tenancy without cause, they generally owe you relocation assistance of several thousand dollars, scaled by unit size.
02
Statewide cap
Oregon caps annual rent increases statewide (a CPI-based formula with a hard ceiling), with exemptions for the newest construction.
03
90-day notices
Larger increases and no-cause terminations (where still allowed) require 90 days' written notice under state law.

Oregon law still applies.
City rules sit on top of state law. Deposits, entry notice and the eviction process still come from Oregon.
