Have you ever asked your phone, “What eviction notices must landlords give in Portland, Oregon?” The answer depends on why you need to remove a tenant. Oregon statutes require landlords to serve different notices before filing an eviction lawsuit.

**Rent demand notices:** If rent is late by 5 days, landlords can issue a 13‑day “pay or quit” notice. If rent is 8 days late, you may use a 10‑day “pay or quit” notice【4144009764531†L209-L214】. The notice must state the amount owed and the termination date if the rent isn’t paid.

**Lease violation notice:** When tenants violate other lease terms—such as disturbing neighbors, keeping unauthorized pets, or damaging the unit—you must provide a 14‑day notice giving the tenant time to fix the issue and a 30‑day notice to vacate if it’s not resolved【4144009764531†L229-L233】.

**Unconditional 24‑hour notice:** For severe violations—violence, drug manufacture, prostitution, or dangerous pets—Oregon law allows you to give an unconditional 24‑hour notice to quit【4144009764531†L234-L255】. The tenant has no opportunity to cure.

All notices must specify the date and time they expire; if you mail them, add three days for delivery. Using the right notice is essential; if you choose the wrong form or get the timing wrong, your case may be dismissed.
