Pilot:  Yours is the first claim I've heard that there's a cap on rent raises in Oregon.  Here's a quotation from THE GUARDIAN, published Thursday February 11, 2016.  "Landlords, too, are feasting on a favorable market, with no cap on yearly rent increases, and no obligation to provide a reason for evicting a tenant"  The entire article is easily accessed.

If there has been a Statewide cap on increases passed (also note State Law prohibits local jurisdictions from establishing "rent control"..and such a cap is rent control), I haven't heard of it.  Could you please cite your source.  As a landlord, I don't want to unknowingly violate the law.  Thank you, Gary
