Understanding Oregon ESA Housing Rights

Navigating landlord rules can be stressful, but federal and state laws protect your right to live with your emotional support animal. In Oregon, landlords are legally required to provide "reasonable accommodations" for tenants with valid ESA documentation.

The Official Law

Oregon strictly enforces fair housing protections for ESA owners. Landlords cannot charge upfront pet fees or monthly pet rent, and must allow ESAs even in properties that restrict certain breeds or sizes.

Citation: ORS 659A.145

What Landlords Cannot Do in Oregon:

  • Charge you upfront pet deposits or monthly "pet rent".
  • Deny your application based solely on the breed or weight of your animal.
  • Require your animal to have specific training (ESAs are not Service Dogs).
  • Ask for detailed medical records regarding your specific diagnosis.
