An Oregon sublease agreement is a contract between the initial tenant of a rental property (sublessor) and a new subtenant (sublessee). A sublease arrangement allows the sublessor to rent some or all of their residence while still fulfilling their obligations under the original lease agreement.

Right to Sublet

Except with respect to manufactured dwelling parks and marinas, Oregon law does not govern the rights of tenants to sublet.[1] Sublet arrangements are subject to the terms of the original lease. If the lease does not address subletting, written permission may be granted using a Landlord Consent Form.

Manufactured Dwellings and Floating Homes

Permission – A sublease agreement is required if the tenant seeks to rent out the facility for more than three days.[2]

Screening – A landlord may not apply more restrictive screening criteria to a sub-tenant than they do regular tenants.[3]

Termination – If the sublease agreement does not specify otherwise, a landlord can terminate the sublease without cause with 30 days’ notice.[4]

Short-Term (Transient Lodging) Tax

Oregon imposes a 1.5% transient lodging tax for dwelling unit rentals lasting less than 30 days.[5] Additional local lodging taxes may apply. For example, local rates include:

  • Ashland: 10%[5]
  • Bend: 10.4%[6]
  • Eugene: 4.5% + 7% Lane County tax[5]
  • Portland: 11.5%[7]
  • Salem: 9%[8]
