The Multnomah County Commission unanimously increases the protection to 90 days to get as much assistance to renters and landlords as possible.
The Multnomah County Commission unanimously voted to give tenants who are behind on their rents 30 more days of protection if they have applied for financial assistance. We are trying to get as much rental assistance money out the door as quickly and efficiently as possible, Commissioner Lori Stegmann said of the ordinance that was approved on Thursday, July 8.
The ordinance adds one month to the 60 days of protection approved by the 2021 Oregon Legislature before the statewide eviction moratorium ended on June 30. Tenants must provide their landlords with documentation that they have applied for the assistance, and must still pay all of their back rent by February 2022 to avoid being evicted.
