The Oregon rental lease agreements are used for tenants seeking to rent space from the owner of residential or commercial property. The tenant will need to make regular payments to the landlord in exchange for using the leased space (usually made on the first of every month). Before signing a contract, the landlord may ask for the tenant’s personal information to conduct a background check and determine whether they are able to afford the rent payments. Access to the property should only be granted after both parties consent to the rental arrangement and sign the lease. If the landlord requests a security deposit, the transfer should be made prior to the start of the lease term.

The Oregon sublease agreement is designed for a tenant looking to rent either their entire space or a bedroom to someone else. Permission to sublet must always be obtained from the landlord if the original lease does not state that subletting is allowed.
