Portland, OR asked in Landlord - Tenant for Oregon

Q: In Oregon, am I required to tell my property management that I am pregnant?

I am already a tenant and have lived in this house for 2.5 years, each time on a 1 year lease. I don't want to risk losing this place, but also am unsure if it is something I must contact them about.

A: When your child is born you would need to update your lease agreement to add the new occupant of rental property. So you would need to tell your landlord then. If you are worried about your landlord terminating your lease agreement or not renewing your lease agreement because you are having another child, if your landlord serves you with a notice after you notify them that you need to add a new occupant on the lease agreement you should contact a landlord tenant attorney.
