What landlords ask about this in Oregon.
- When is 60 days required instead of 30?
- Typically once the tenant has lived in the unit longer than a year, though the trigger varies by state and city. Oregon's baseline for a month-to-month tenancy is 30 days. Where it is unclear, the longer notice is the safe one.
- How do I count the days?
- Start the day after service and count calendar days, not business days, unless your state says otherwise. The tenancy ends on the last day of the period, and several states require that day to align with the end of a rental period.
- Does time in the property reset after a lease renewal?
- No. Length of tenancy is normally measured from when the tenant first took possession, not from the most recent signature. A tenant on their fourth one-year lease has been there four years for notice purposes.
- Can I give 60 days just to be safe?
- Yes. Serving more notice than required is always valid. Oregon requires 30 days, so serving 60 costs you time but removes any argument that the notice was short.
