Oregon landlords — two important laws just took effect in early June 2026: SB 1523 (payment portals & non-electronic alternatives) and HB 4123 (tenant data confidentiality). I’ve summarized exactly what changed and created a short compliance checklist you can use this week.
Key takeaways:
• Offer commercially reasonable non-electronic payment options (checks accepted) and provide printable or printed applications on request.
• If you use app-based building access, offer at least one non-phone alternative (key, fob, code) and document requests.
• Audit forms and staff practices to prevent “knowing” disclosures of protected tenant data (SSNs, immigration status, medical info); violations carry statutory damages.
Action items for this week: update lease/addenda language, post or be ready to provide printable applications, hold a 30-minute staff huddle on data-handling, and document every request and response. Need ready-to-use Oregon forms or a compliance review? PAROA members get attorney-vetted forms and Helpline support — and if you want step-by-step help, Northwest Rental Property Management can take it off your plate.
