Q: If my rental company gave me a no cause eviction, do they have to return my full deposit?
A: No, there is no special rule for if there is a no cause eviction. But, make sure they do follow the laws as to timing and documentation: see ORS 90.300
Gregory L Abbott agrees with this answer
A: There is no connection between the reason your tenancy is being terminated and your security deposit. You remain liable for any/all damages you do and those damages can be taken out of your security deposit - that is what it is for. As Mr. Stevens notes, however, the landlord still must refund or account for your security deposit within 31 days of your restoring possession or face penalties.
