Chapter 90 — Residential Landlord and Tenant

ORS 90.584 Park specific billing for water; voting

(1)

With the approval of the tenants, a landlord of a manufactured dwelling park may amend the rental agreement to convert a tenant’s billing for water and wastewater from pro rata billing or rent-included billing to park specific billing only as provided under this section.

(2)

Park specific billing must allocate the cost for water and wastewater service fairly among the tenants and may not allow the landlord to collect cumulatively from all tenants more than the provider bills to the landlord, not including any installation or repair costs to the utility service system infrastructure required by the conversion of billing method.

(3)(a)

Each space in a park may cast one ballot in a vote.

(b)

A landlord may convert to park specific billing only if a majority of the ballots cast in a vote approve a conversion.

(c)(A)

A ballot may include two choices:

(i)

Conversion to a park specific billing; and

(ii)

Conversion to either a pro rata billing or submeter billing.

(B)

If the ballot includes two choices, it must explain that a voter may either vote yes for only one choice or may vote no on both choices.

(4)

A landlord shall give the notices described in ORS 90.574 (2)(a) at least one month prior to holding a vote under subsection

(3)

of this section and shall hold a meeting described in ORS 90.574 (2)(c) at least one week prior to holding the vote.
