House Dems want to take Portland’s rental rules statewide
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
PORTLAND — Just days
after Portland officials passed
an ordinance requiring land-
lords to pay relocation costs
to tenants evicted without
cause, some state lawmakers
are working to expand the
ordinance statewide.
Seventeen Democratic
legislators heard from some
200 tenants about how the
housing crisis has affected
them during a forum
Saturday at Highland Chris-
tian Church in Northeast
Portland. The lawmakers
also heard residents’ views
on statewide legislation to
mimic the Portland ordi-
nance on no cause evictions
and a proposal by House
Speaker Tina Kotek to lift
the statewide ban on rent
control.
The event was organized
to give a voice to tenants who
have less access to the Legis-
lature than powerful landlord
lobbying groups, said Rep.
Alissa Keny-Guyer, D-Port-
land, chairwoman of the
House Committee on Human
Services and Housing.
“We are going to work
very hard this year in the
Paris Achen/Pamplin Media Group
Sen. Laurie Monnes Anderson, D-Gresham; St. Johns
resident Coya Crispin and her 5-month-old son; and
Rep. Karin Power, D-Milwaukie, speak during a tenants
forum in Northeast Portland Saturday at Highland
Christian Center.
Legislature to eliminate
no-cause evictions,” Speaker
Kotek said, eliciting applause
and cheers from the crowd.
“…This is a fairness issue.”
During the event, Kotek
said she met residents of
the Titan Manor apartments
in Portland’s St. Johns
neighborhood, where more
than 50 tenants were evicted
without cause after a Cali-
fornia management company
bought the property.
One of the tenants, Coya
Crespin, a single mother of
two, said she was heartened
by the turnout of lawmakers
and tenants Saturday.
“To see all of these people
and to see how the commu-
nity wants to band together,
it makes me feel like Port-
land is a special place to live,
and that’s why people are
coming here,” Crespin aid.
Because Portland’s ordi-
nance is retroactive 89 days,
Crespin said she could either
receive relocation costs from
her landlord or work out a
new rental agreement with
the company.
There are at least two
iterations of both no-cause
evictions legislation and rent
control bills that have been
proposed in the Legislature.
Housing advocate groups,
such as Stable Homes for
Oregon Families, are pushing
for passage of House Bill
2004. That legislation both
lifts the ban on rent control
and requires landlords to pay
relocation costs for no-cause
evictions.
Senate President Peter
Courtney, D-Salem, has
signaled he may lack the
votes necessary to pass that
legislation in the Senate.
The Portland ordinance
already faces a challenge by
Multifamily Northwest.
Portland’s
ordinance
requires landlords to pay
relocation costs of $2,900
to $4,500 when they evict
someone without cause, or if
a tenant has to move because
rent increased by 10 percent
or more in a year.
The provision related to
rent increases violates the
state’s ban on rent control,
said John DiLorenzo, who
represents the association
of property owners and
managers.
Economists largely agree
that such policies are usually
counterproductive to efforts
to increase the supply of
housing and decrease rents.
An inadequate number of
units is the main cause of
the state’s housing crisis,
affecting both price and
availability, state economists
have said.
“What we are hoping to
do for this bill is return the
tool to local jurisdictions
so they can explore this
for themselves,” said Rep.
Karin Power, D-Milwaukie,
a co-sponsor of House Bill
2004. “We’ve heard anec-
dotes about it working and
not working in some circum-
stances around the country,
but Portland is a little bit
different and what works for
Portland might not work for
another city.”
The Portland ordinance
gives exemptions to land-
lords who own only one

dwelling, rent out a property
weekly, rent rooms in their
living space, and when a
property owner plans to
return to a home after a less
than three-year absence.
Unlike the Portland ordi-
nance, House Bill 2004 does
not specify a limit on how
much landlords can raise
rent. The legislation simply
allows cities to impose rent
control. The bill prohibits
no-cause evictions except in
certain circumstances and
requires the landlord to pay
relocation costs to the tenant.
The bill exempts property
owners who are renting out
rooms on the property of
their primary residence.
However, homeowners
who want to move back into
a dwelling they were renting
out are not exempt from
paying relocation costs to the
tenant.
Hearings on the bills
start March 2, said Rep.
Keny-Guyer of the housing
committee.
