Housing Provider testimony against LC-18 went very well last night. However, we were overshadowed by the amount of testimony in favor of LC-18. You can see last night's hearing here:

I urge all members that have not submitted written testimony to do so now!

You can view a copy of LC-18 here: https://olis.leg.state.or.us/liz/2019I1/Downloads/CommitteeMeetingDocument/227497

In this bill legislators are asking Housing Providers to forgive 20% of rent owed by tenants.

Public hearings are being held on Saturday 12/19/2020 at 10am, you can view the hearings here: https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2019I1/Committees/J3SS/Overview

We are requesting all ORHA members and other Housing Providers submit written testimony in opposition to LC-18 before 1pm on Thursday 12/17/2020 to the following email address: j3ss.exhibits@oregonlegislature.gov and sending a copy to your local legislators and a copy to ORHAoffice@gmail.com.

Find your legislator here: https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/FindYourLegislator/leg-districts.html

Let Oregon legislators know that housing providers should not be required to forgive any past due rents.
