Event Details
Join Multifamily NW and landlord/tenant law attorney Leah Sykes for a comprehensive review of the City of Portland's Fair Access in Renting (FAIR) Ordinance requirements related to security deposits and end-of-tenancy compliance.
Portland's FAIR Ordinance significantly changed how housing providers collect, administer, document, and return security deposits. Combined with evolving requirements surrounding end-of-tenancy notices, move-out accounting, and deposit dispositions, housing providers must carefully navigate these regulations to minimize risk and maintain compliance.
In this 1.5-hour webinar, Leah will break down the key provisions of the ordinance, explain recent legislative and operational considerations, and discuss how these requirements intersect with the end-of-tenancy process. Attendees will gain practical guidance on handling security deposits from move-in through move-out while avoiding common compliance mistakes.
Topics include:
- Portland FAIR Ordinance security deposit requirements
- Deposit installment options and renter rights
- Documentation and record keeping best practices
- Charging for damages and applying security deposits at move-out
- End-of-tenancy notices and timelines
- Security deposit accounting and return requirements

Whether you're new to Portland's FAIR requirements or looking for a refresher on recent developments, this webinar will provide practical tools and actionable guidance to help you confidently manage security deposits and end-of-tenancy procedures.
