- State: Oregon
Answer:
In Oregon, there are no specific state requirements for out-of-state property owners to have a local property manager. However, if you own rental property in Oregon while living in California, you must have an in-state statutory agent. This agent is different from a property manager; they only handle legal notices and service of process on your behalf.
According to Oregon law, you must disclose to your tenants the name and address of the person managing the property and the owner or their authorized representative for legal notices (Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.305). This information must be kept current and is enforceable against any future landlords or managers.
While you are not required to hire a property manager, it may be beneficial to do so for managing day-to-day operations, such as collecting rent and handling tenant issues.
