From one of the comments: "The City is currently considering a New Law that would Tax property owners more to pay for Tenants Lawyers during EVICTIONS."

Both reports said the declines followed the enactment of new rental regulations. They included a Portland requirement that landlords pay the relocation of tenants who say they cannot afford their rent increases.

UNBELIEVABLE.

3,987 rental houses were lost in Portland over that period, a 14% reduction. The new report also said 6,417 rental houses were lost in the larger region, an 11% reduction during the same period. . . . .

Lost? Did they misplace them? Move them to Seattle? Burn them down? Leave them abandoned? Or were they sold to people who wanted to reside in their newly purchased homes resulting in 3,987 newly owner occupied homes in Portland?

Generally, when a neighborhood goes from owner occupied to rented, it is on the way downhill like where I live. Not too many yet, but more than before. Thus owners moving in would upgrade a neighborhood.

From 2020, this likely didn't help...

Portland changes zoning rules to allow duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes in areas previously reserved for single-family homes

Communists always think they can legislate economics. Interesting that the topic of insurance wasn’t raised in the article. I would have to imagine the cost of insurance must have jumped quite a bit after the riots and the unwillingness of the local government to protect property.

Once the politicians in Portland Oregon inserted themselves into every rental agreement in the city by not letting landlords evict tenants during COVID-1984, it was inevitable that landlords would walk away. Who would ever take that risk again?

What did they think would happen when they imposed a 14 month rent moratorium? Did they think that would increase the supply of rental stock? If they did they are too dumb to breath our oxygen.

Why would anyone in a socialist regime ever want to be a landlord?

If I owned a rental house there, I’d just burn it down, take the insurance money, sell the lot, and build somewhere else. Probably in Idaho.

I considered renting my PDX home when I decided to move to Seqttle area but I heard enough horror stories that I sold my place and took the money and ran.

The people who are running Portland are insane.

Lost? They weren’t lost- they were bought. Mortgage rates in the 3% range for reasonably qualified buyers made owning an option for lots of people who had been long-time renters. If you bought low long ago, you had a large equity buildup as prices escalated. If you bought at the top of the prior market cycle you had the chance to at least break even or take a little profit.

Add in the pro-tenant/anti-landlord regulations in some places and you have a selling incentive.

Any calamity that happens to Portland, Oregon is MUSIC TO MY EARS!

The city has been so screwed up for so long, it is great to see the crap that they deserve inundate the area.

The “Rose City” stinks and needs a flushing.

All has everything to do with their liberal, commie politics.

I was a landlord once. So was my Dad, once. Once was enough for both of us. He sold, I burned. Game over either way. Wish I still had the property he sold.

Embrace the suck, love the suck.

All that scenic beauty just isn’t worth the trouble.

Why rent when you can be a Portland tent dweller for free.

There hasn’t been anything to rent in so Oregon since the Alameda fire Sept 2020. I had to buy a place just to have a place to sleep. Don’t know what they plan to do with all the illegals heading to sanctuary Oregon.
