PORTLAND, Ore. — Landlords will be allowed to increase rent no higher than 10% in 2025, the Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) announced on Monday. The cap applies to rental units that are 15 years and older.
Since 2019, Oregon law has required DAS to calculate the maximum allowable annual rent increase, and publish it online by Sept. 30 each year. The amount is calculated as 7%, plus the Consumer Price Index — a measure of inflation — or 10%, whichever is lower.
The percentage increase has held between 9 and 10%, except for the first half of 2023 when the previous maximum was set at 14.6%, forced up by inflation. Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek signed Senate Bill 611 into law in July 2023, which set a state-mandated upper limit of 10% for residential increases.
Here are the maximum rent increases released by DAS since 2019:
- 2019: 10.3%
- 2020: 9.9%
- 2021: 9.2%
- 2022: 9.9%
- 2023 (before July 6): 14.6%
- 2023 (after July 6): 10%
- 2024: 10%
- 2025: 10%
