ORS 90.110
Exclusions from application of this chapter

Unless created to avoid the application of this chapter, the following arrangements are not governed by this chapter:

(1)

Residence at an institution, public or private, if incidental to detention or the provision of medical, geriatric, educational, counseling, religious or similar service, but not including residence in off-campus nondormitory housing.

(2)

Occupancy of a dwelling unit for no more than 90 days by a purchaser prior to the scheduled closing of a real estate sale or by a seller following the closing of a sale, in either case as permitted under the terms of an agreement for sale of a dwelling unit or the property of which it is a part. The occupancy by a purchaser or seller described in this subsection may be terminated only pursuant to ORS 91.130 (Eviction of purchaser or seller of property). A tenant who holds but has not exercised an option to purchase the dwelling unit is not a purchaser for purposes of this subsection.

(3)

Occupancy by a member of a fraternal or social organization in the portion of a structure operated for the benefit of the organization.

(4)

Transient occupancy in a hotel or motel.

(5)

Occupancy by a squatter.

(6)

Vacation occupancy.

(7)

Occupancy by an employee of a landlord whose right to occupancy is conditional upon employment in and about the premises. However, the occupancy by an employee as described in this subsection may be terminated only pursuant to ORS 91.120 (Eviction of employee).

(8)

Occupancy by an owner of a condominium unit or a holder of a proprietary lease in a cooperative.

(9)

Occupancy under a rental agreement covering premises used by the occupant primarily for agricultural purposes. [Formerly 91.710; 1993 c.369 §2; 1997 c.577 §2; 1999 c.603 §6; 2001 c.596 §28]

Notes of Decisions

Whether occupancy of hotel or motel is “transient occupancy” depends upon whether occupier of premises intends to establish relatively permanent living arrangement typical of residency. Lyons v. Kamhoot, 281 Or 615, 575 P2d 1389 (1978)

Occupancy is conditional upon employment if occupancy is for purpose other than mere residence, regardless of whether employer derives benefit from occupancy by employee. Montgomery v. Howard Johnson Inn, Gresham, 228 Or App 315, 208 P3d 503 (2009)

Payment of rent by employee whose occupancy is conditional upon employment does not create landlord-tenant relationship. Montgomery v. Howard Johnson Inn, Gresham, 228 Or App 315, 208 P3d 503 (2009)

Where evidence exists that apartment rent credit is conditional term of employment, rent credit establishes link between employment and occupancy, but does not, by itself, transform every occupancy of resident employees into occupancy that is conditional on employment for purposes of determining exception under this section, and reasonable factfinder could infer, but could not be compelled to find, that employment was conditional and evidence did not provide alternative basis on which to affirm lower court’s grant of summary judgment. Rowden v. Hogan Woods, LLC, 306 Or App 658, 476 P3d 485 (2020)
