Enter your current monthly rent. The calculator applies the 10% cap (CPI (West) + 7% (max 10%)) to show the maximum new rent allowed under ORS § 90.323 (HB 2001, 2019 — first statewide RC in US).
* This calculator applies the 10.0% 2025 cap published for Oregon (West Urban CPI-U, Sept 2023–Sept 2024 (BLS / OR DOJ published)). Exempt units (new construction, SFH not owned by corps, condos) may be raised without limit. Not legal advice.
Oregon was the first state in the US to enact statewide rent stabilization. The cap is the lesser of 7% plus the US CPI-U (West Urban) or 10%. Oregon DOJ publishes the cap each year. For 2025, the cap is 10% (the formula reached the maximum). Applies to covered residential units; does not require just cause for no-cause notices.
At the statewide median gross rent of $1,297/month, the 10.0% cap translates to a maximum increase of $130/month ($1,556/year) for a median-rent unit.
