Q: Does the 90 day rent increase notice for Portland apply if you only lease one house?
If the one rental is a fixed lease with a provision stating "right to modify the monthly rent obligation" can a rent increase happen before the termination date?
A: No, one of the advantages of a fixed term lease is that the parties have contracted for the rental amount, and it is fixed regardless of what the lease may say as long as we are talking about residential landlord-tenant. And while Portland's 90 day advanced notice rent increase may or may not apply if the landlord qualifies for one of the exemptions, it is now 90 days advanced notice for any rent increase in a month to month tenancy state-wide (and no rent increase during the first 12 months of a month to month tenancy). Good luck.
