What a valid Oregon nonpayment of rent (pay or quit) notice includes

  • • Full names of all tenants and the rental property address
  • • The landlord’s name and mailing address
  • • The exact amount of rent owed and the deadline to pay or vacate
  • • Service at least 10 days before the effective date (Or. Rev. Stat. § 90.394)
  • • A certificate of service recording how and when the notice was delivered — courts routinely ask for this
