A Oregon residential lease agreement binds a landlord to rent a residence to a tenant while receiving monthly rent. A standard lease is a fixed period that is commonly for 1-year. The responsibilities of each landlord and tenant will be entered into the agreement in regard to utilities and services. In addition, the rules for the property including pets, smoking, waterbeds, and any other terms or conditions will be included. The landlord should only authorize a lease after a sufficient credit and background check has been performed on the applying tenant.
