The biggest lament from landlords in Portland is that when a tenant leaves, they can only raise rent on the unit by 5%; they want to be able to price vacant units at market so it’s worth renovating them. But their effort to get voters to agree was trounced in a 2023 referendum

I read through cases at Portland’s Rent Board, where one landlord tried to get around the rent control limits by charging a tenant $310 a month to use the porch attached to their unit (the rent board sided with the tenant)
