Landlord Compensation Fund

On Monday, December 21st, the Oregon Legislature enacted an eviction moratorium and established the Landlord Compensation Fund (HB 4401). The Legislature allocated $200 million in rent assistance to support tenants and landlords, which includes $150 million for the Landlord Compensation Fund. OHCS will be developing program materials in the coming weeks as we prepare to launch the Landlord Compensation Fund in late-January. Please sign up for the ‘Landlord Compensation Fund Updates’ email list here to receive the latest information on this program.

I am a landlord interested in applying. What will the process look like?

Are you a renter? Here’s what you need to know about Oregon’s eviction moratorium:

Governor Kate Brown and the Oregon Legislature have made it unlawful for landlords to evict people who can’t afford their rent. This rule will last until June 30, 2021. Renters must sign and return a form to their landlord if they can’t afford their rent. By January 1st, that form will be available from the Oregon Judicial Branch. The Oregon Law Center has the form and more information in English and Spanish.

If you can’t afford your rent, contact your local community action agency or call or text 2-1-1 for assistance.
