Oregon Pet Rental Laws
Pet Deposit Rules
In Oregon, the pet deposit limit is: Part of 2 months deposit limit. Pet deposits count toward the overall security deposit cap. Landlords cannot charge additional fees beyond this limit.
Breed Restrictions
Statewide preemption of breed bans. Oregon has passed legislation preventing breed-specific bans, meaning landlords cannot prohibit specific dog breeds. However, individual properties may still have weight or size limits.
Emotional Support Animals
ESAs are protected under federal law in Oregon. Landlords cannot charge pet deposits or pet rent for ESAs, and breed/size restrictions do not apply. You need documentation from a licensed mental health professional.
