Oregon late fee law

Oregon landlords must wait 4 days after rent is due before charging a late fee, and state law caps the amount.

The rule

Grace period
4 days
Cap
Reasonable flat fee once per period; or a daily fee of up to 6% of a reasonable flat fee; or 5% of periodic rent per 5-day period late
Grace period
No late charge unless rent is unpaid by the end of the 4th day of the rental period (fee may be imposed on the 5th day), and only if a written rental agreement specifies it.
Limits on the fee
Nonpayment of a late charge alone is not grounds for a nonpayment termination notice.
