Oregon Standard Residential Lease Agreement Template
Fill Now!The Oregon standard residential lease agreement is the most common rental contract, one which lasts one (1) year with rent payments made by the tenant on a monthly basis. Landlords are encouraged to screen tenants with the rental application before signing any type of agreement. The information collected through the application helps the landlord determine whether a long-term lease is suitable for the applicant. As with other rental contracts, a security deposit may be collected before officially authorizing a lease agreement.
