Oregon Manufactured Home Lot Rent Increase Limits for 2027
November 7, 2026
If you own a manufactured or mobile home in an Oregon park, you own an important asset — even though you do not own the land underneath it. Your biggest ongoing cost is usually the monthly lot rent, the space rent you pay the park for the land your home sits on. Oregon law caps how much that rent can rise each year, and the Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) has now published the limits for calendar year 2027.
The 2027 lot rent limits
Under ORS 90.324 and ORS 90.600, the maximum annual rent increase depends on the size of the park. For calendar year 2027:
- Parks with more than 30 spaces: the annual rent increase limit is 6%. This is a flat statutory number. It does not move with inflation.
- Parks with 30 or fewer spaces: the annual increase is limited to the lesser of 10% or 7% plus the Consumer Price Index (CPI). For 2027, 7% plus CPI came out above the 10% ceiling, so the maximum is 10%.
For comparison, the 2026 limits were 6% for larger parks and 9.5% for smaller parks. DAS publishes the figures each year by September 30; the 2027 figures were published on September 28, 2026.
How the caps work in practice
The caps limit how much your rent can rise in a year. They do not cap what a park can charge a new tenant moving in. Three more rules come with the caps:
- Once a year, with notice. A park may raise rent only once in any 12-month period, and it must give 90 days of written notice before the increase takes effect.
- One infrastructure exception. For parks with more than 30 spaces, rent may rise up to 12% once every 5 years for a major infrastructure project, but only with a written yes vote from 51% of occupied spaces, and the amount above 6% must be refunded if the project is not substantially complete within 12 months of its estimated completion date.
- Some spaces are exempt. Spaces whose first certificate of occupancy is less than 15 years old, and government-regulated affordable housing where the tenant share of rent does not rise, are exempt from the caps.
A landlord who raises rent above the cap owes the tenant 3 months of rent plus actual damages.
What the limits mean for you
Knowing the applicable rent increase limit helps you plan your monthly housing expenses. If your park has more than 30 spaces, your lot rent can rise by no more than 6% in 2027. If your park has 30 or fewer spaces, the most it can rise is 10%. If you receive a notice for more than the limit, the increase is not lawful as written.
Lot rent is also one of the first things a potential buyer asks about. A buyer who will take over your space rent wants to know what it costs now and how fast it can rise. A park with a 6% cap gives a buyer more cost certainty than a park where rent can rise 10% a year — and that certainty can help your home sell.
