Rent calculators
The Oregon rent increase limit, and how to read it.
Oregon was the first state to cap rent statewide. Seven per cent plus CPI, never above ten, with buildings under fifteen years old exempt. It also publishes the maximum for the coming year every September, so there is a number to read rather than one to compute.
Letting law is written below the country here, so the rules differ inside it.
It fixes the anniversary, and where an index applies, the starting index.
The anniversary you are claiming.
What the lease or the notice sets. A statutory ceiling brings it down where one applies.
The regional figure this jurisdiction publishes, not a national headline rate.

From 24 Sep 2026 the rent goes from $850.00 to $875.50, +$25.50 a month. There is no rent index here. United States, Oregon caps the yearly rise at 7,0 % plus CPI, never above 10,0 % (ORS 90.323, SB 608 (2019) as amended by SB 611 (2023)), and 3,0 % is what that comes to.
Check before you send
- No CPI was supplied, so the ceiling has been taken as 7,0 %, the fixed part of the formula alone. The lawful ceiling is that plus the CPI United States, Oregon publishes, to a maximum of 10,0 %.

Nobody here has read these rules in the law of United States, Oregon yet, so every figure above is a plausible default rather than a confirmed one. Dardaris will not act on an unconfirmed rule on its own, and neither should you: check it in the source before you send anything.

What the rules actually say
The rules Dardaris applies in Oregon.
Every line below is read off the same jurisdiction pack the product runs on, and each one says whether anybody has confirmed it in a source.
- Index
Statutory cap: 7% plus CPI, to 10%
The CPI is the one United States, Oregon names, published for the region rather than nationally. Enter the published figure rather than a national headline rate.
Not confirmed in a source yet. Check it before you act on it.
- Formula
new rent = current rent × (1 + the lower of (7% + CPI) and 10%)
Seven per cent plus CPI, never above ten. Buildings under fifteen years old are exempt. Oregon publishes the maximum for the following calendar year each September, so the published figure is the one to use rather than one you compute.

- Notice
A written demand is required
Written notice is required, and the period depends on the size of the rise and on how long the tenant has been there. Confirm it before you send.

- Back claim
Nothing can be back claimed
A rent rise runs from the date the notice takes effect and is never back-claimed in the United States.
Confirmed in a primary source
- Statutory ceiling
7 % plus CPI, never above 10 %
Seven per cent plus CPI, never above ten. Buildings under fifteen years old are exempt. Oregon publishes the maximum for the following calendar year each September, so the published figure is the one to use rather than one you compute. Check the exemptions before relying on the ceiling: a dwelling outside the statute is not capped by it, and a city inside the state may cap lower.

The questions that follow.
- What is the Oregon rent increase cap?
- Seven per cent plus the consumer price index, capped at ten per cent, under ORS 90.323, enacted as SB 608 in 2019 and amended by SB 611 in 2023 to add the ten per cent ceiling.
- Should I compute the cap or use the published figure?
- Use the published figure. Oregon publishes the maximum allowable increase for the following calendar year each September, which removes the question of which CPI series and which period apply.
- Which Oregon rentals are exempt?
- Buildings under fifteen years old are outside the cap. Confirm the certificate of occupancy date before relying on either the exemption or the ceiling.
The same calculator, under other law.
A rent rises differently in each of these, and the page for each one says how. Anywhere else, the calculator still runs on that jurisdiction's own pack.
The calculation takes a minute. The date is what costs you.
Nobody forfeits a year because the arithmetic defeated them. They forfeit it because the anniversary fell in a quiet month, the index was not out yet, and by the time it was, there was nothing to remind them.
- It watches the anniversary for youDardaris holds the lease, its reference quarter and its anniversary, and tells you a revision is due rather than waiting to be asked.
- And works it out on the right two figuresThe reference quarter the lease names, against the same quarter a year earlier, applied to the rent in payment. The DPE block and the twelve month window are part of the same answer.
- But it does not send itA letter that raises somebody's rent waits for you. Dardaris prepares it and says what it is based on, and you are the one who decides it goes.
The number is the easy part.
Dardaris keeps the lease, raises the invoice, matches the payment and writes down what it did. Bring one building and watch a month before you decide anything.
