quality of a tenant’s manufactured dwelling or floating home.
(7) Nothing in this section prevents a landlord from selling to a prospective purchaser a manu-
factured dwelling or floating home owned by the landlord at a price or on terms, including space
rent, that are more favorable than the price and terms offered for dwellings or homes that are for
sale by a tenant.

dwelling or home on the rented space and become a tenant, the landlord may require in the rental

(d) If the sale is not by a lienholder, that the prospective purchaser pay in full all rents, fees,
deposits or charges owed by the tenant as authorized under ORS 90.140 and the rental agreement,
prior to the landlord’s acceptance of the prospective purchaser as a tenant.
(9)(a) If a landlord requires a prospective purchaser to submit an application for occupancy as
a tenant under subsection (8) of this section, the landlord shall provide, upon request from the pur-
chaser, a copy of the application. At the time that the landlord gives the prospective purchaser an

(a) The landlord shall accept or reject the prospective purchaser’s application within seven days
following the day the landlord receives a complete and accurate written application. An application
is not complete until the prospective purchaser pays any required applicant screening charge and
provides the landlord with all information and documentation, including any financial data and ref-
erences, required by the landlord pursuant to ORS 90.510 (5)(i). The landlord and the prospective
purchaser may agree to a longer time period for the landlord to evaluate the prospective purchaser’s
application or to allow the prospective purchaser to address any failure to meet the landlord’s
screening or admission criteria. If a tenant has not previously given the landlord the 10 days’ notice
required under subsection (8)(a) of this section, the period provided for the landlord to accept or
reject a complete and accurate written application is extended to 10 days.
(b) When a landlord considers an application for tenancy from a prospective purchaser of a
dwelling or home from a tenant, the landlord shall apply to the prospective purchaser credit and
conduct screening criteria that are substantially similar to the credit and conduct screening criteria
the landlord applies to a prospective purchaser of a dwelling or home from the landlord.
(c) The landlord may not unreasonably reject a prospective purchaser as a tenant. Reasonable
cause for rejection includes, but is not limited to, failure of the prospective purchaser to meet the
landlord’s conditions for approval as provided in ORS 90.510 (5)(i) or failure of the prospective
purchaser’s references to respond to the landlord’s timely request for verification within the time
allowed for acceptance or rejection under paragraph (a) of this subsection. Except as provided in
paragraph (d) of this subsection, the landlord shall furnish to the seller and purchaser a written
statement of the reasons for the rejection.
(d) If a rejection under paragraph (c) of this subsection is based upon a consumer report, as
defined in 15 U.S.C. 1681a for purposes of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, the landlord may
not disclose the contents of the report to anyone other than the purchaser. The landlord shall dis-
close to the seller in writing that the rejection is based upon information contained within a con-
sumer report and that the landlord may not disclose the information within the report.
(11) The following apply if a landlord does not require a prospective purchaser to submit an
application for occupancy as a tenant under subsection (8) of this section or if the landlord does not
accept or reject the prospective purchaser as a tenant within the time required under subsection
(10) of this section:
(a) The landlord waives any right to bring an action against the tenant under the rental agree-
ment for breach of the landlord’s right to establish conditions upon and approve a prospective pur-
chaser of the tenant’s dwelling or home;
(b) The prospective purchaser, upon completion of the sale, may occupy the dwelling or home
as a tenant under the same conditions and terms as the tenant who sold the dwelling or home; and
(c) If the prospective purchaser becomes a new tenant, the landlord may impose conditions or
terms on the tenancy that are inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the seller’s rental
agreement only if the new tenant agrees in writing.
(12) A landlord may not, because of the age, size, style or original construction material of the
dwelling or home or because the dwelling or home was built prior to adoption of the National
Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5403), in compli-
ance with the standards of that Act in effect at that time or in compliance with the state building
code as defined in ORS 455.010:
(a) Reject an application for tenancy from a prospective purchaser of an existing dwelling or
home on a rented space within a facility; or

(b) Require a prospective purchaser of an existing dwelling or home on a rented space within
a facility to remove the dwelling or home from the rented space.
(13) A tenant who has received a notice pursuant to ORS 90.632 may sell the tenant’s dwelling
or home in compliance with this section during the notice period. The tenant shall provide a pro-
spective purchaser with a copy of any outstanding notice given to the tenant under ORS 90.632 prior
to a sale. If the tenancy has been terminated pursuant to ORS 90.632, or the notice period provided
in ORS 90.632 has expired without a correction of cause or extension of time to correct, a prospec-
tive purchaser does not have a right to leave the dwelling or home on the rented space and become
a tenant.
(14) The following applies to a landlord that accepts a prospective purchaser as a tenant under
subsection (10) of this section:
(a) Notwithstanding any waiver given by the landlord to the previous tenant, the landlord may
require the new tenant to complete the repairs[,] and maintenance [and improvements] described in
the notices provided under subsection (9)(a)(B) to (D) of this section.
(b) Notwithstanding ORS 90.412, if the new tenant fails to complete the repairs[,] or mainte-
nance [and improvements] described in the notices provided under subsection (9)(a)(B) to (D) of this
section within six months after the tenancy begins, the landlord may terminate the tenancy by giv-
ing the new tenant the notice required under ORS 90.630 or 90.632.
(15) A landlord may not require that a selling tenant, prospective purchaser or purchaser
consent to the inspection of the interior of the dwelling or home, including as a condition
of:
(a) Acceptance of the notice of sale under subsection (8)(a) of this section;
(b) Approval of a sale under this section; or
(c) Approval of a new tenancy by the purchaser.
[(15)] (16) Except as provided by subsection (13) of this section, after a tenancy has ended and
during the period provided by ORS 90.675 (6) and (8), a former tenant retains the right to sell the
tenant’s dwelling or home to a purchaser who wishes to leave the dwelling or home on the rented
space and become a tenant as provided by this section, if the former tenant makes timely periodic
payment of all storage charges as provided by ORS 90.675 (7)(b), maintains the dwelling or home and
the rented space on which it is stored and enters the premises only with the written permission of
the landlord. Payment of the storage charges or maintenance of the dwelling or home and the space
does not create or reinstate a tenancy or create a waiver pursuant to ORS 90.412 or 90.417. A for-
mer tenant may not enter the premises without the written permission of the landlord, including
entry to maintain the dwelling or home or the space or to facilitate a sale.
[(16)] (17) A landlord or tenant who sells a manufactured dwelling or floating home shall deliver
title to the dwelling or home to the purchaser within 25 business days after completion of the sale.
If the sale by contract requires future payments, the landlord or tenant shall notify the county that
the purchaser is responsible for property tax payments.
SECTION 5. On or before September 15, 2026, the Housing and Community Services De-
partment shall study the need in manufactured dwelling parks and floating home marinas
throughout the state to make improvements to water and sewer or septic systems, and shall
submit a report in the manner provided by ORS 192.245 to the interim committees of the
Legislative Assembly related to housing.
