If you follow the steps outlined in this packet and keep good records of all of the steps you take, it is more likely that you will be able to obtain relocation assistance.  \nIt is very important to keep records of your written communications with your landlord throughout the process.  \nThis packet contains the following:  \n􀁸 Information about the City of Portland’s relocation assistance law  \n􀁸 Guidelines for how to get relocation assistance , including step-by-step instructions  \n􀁸 Letters to use in communicating with your landlord about relocation assistance  \nPORTLAND’S RELOCATION ASSISTANCE LAW  \n􀂾 Certain tenants living in the City of Portland may have the right to relocation assistance from their landlord if the landlord is forcing the tenant to move through no fault of the tenant. Portland City Code (“PCC”) 30.01.085.  \n􀂾 In order to be eligible for relocation assistance you must qualify based on two separate factors.  \no The first factor is a qualifying landlord action.  \no The second factor is being a qualifying tenant.  \nQualifying Landlord Action  \n􀂾 In order to be eligible for relocation assistance your landlord must have done ONE of the following three things:  \n1. Served you with one of the following three qualifying Termination Notices:  \n􀁸 No Cause Notice of Termination ,  \n􀁸 Landlord Reason Notice; OR  \n􀁸 Three Strikes Lease Nonrenewal Notice.  \n2. Served you with a Notice of Rent Increase that increases your rent by 10% or more in the last twelve months.  \n􀁸 Note: State law prevents your landlord from raising your rent during the first year of your tenancy. If the building you live in is 15 years or older, state law also caps the amount that the landlord can increase your rent after the first year to 7% plus the amount of inflation for the prior September. For 2019, the rate of inflation for September 2018 was 3.4% . That means your landlord cannot raise your rent more than 10.4%(7% + 3.4%) in 2019.  \n3. Failed to renew your lease on substantially similar terms.  \n􀁸 Note: The expiration of a temporary reduction of rent (“rent concession”) is not considered a failure to renew a lease on substantially similar terms, and so does not make the tenant eligible for relocation assistance.  \nQualifying Tenants  \n􀂾 In order to be eligible for relocation assistance you must meet ALL of the following requirements:  \n1. You must live in the City of Portland. (Not sure? Use this tool to doublecheck: [https://gis.oregonmetro.gov/metromap/](https://gis.oregonmetro.gov/metromap/. Be sure to click on)[.

You cannot live with your landlord.  \n4. You cannot live in an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) on a property that the landlord also lives on.  \n5. You cannot live in a duplex if the landlord lives in the other part of the duplex.  \n6. You cannot live in your landlord’s primary home while he or she is gone for 3 years or less and plans to return.  \n7. You cannot live in your landlord’s primary home while he or she is absent due to active duty military service.  \n8.
