An Oregon sublease agreement is a contract among the initial tenant of a rental property, a new sub-tenant, and the property owner or landlord. A sublease arrangement gives the current tenant the ability to rent a portion or all of their living quarters while remaining bound by 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]
