About
Stop guessing on Oregon tenant screening. This self-guided course shows you how to take applications, charge screening fees, write criteria, and say yes or no — without walking into the mistakes that get Oregon landlords sued. Most owners copy a form, charge a fee, and hope the law still works the way it did last year. It does not. Statewide rules, Portland FAIR, and other city overlays all stack. This course puts them in order so you can run one clean process. What you will be able to do when you finish: • Take applications and collect screening fees the legal way, with the right disclosures before money changes hands. • Write written screening criteria you can actually defend — income, credit, criminal history, and fair-housing rules, including current immigration-status protections. • Handle holding deposits under the 2026 timing rules and send a complete adverse-action notice when you deny someone. • Run Portland FAIR correctly: 72-hour notice, Low-Barrier vs. Individual Assessment, income multipliers, required notices, and the 30-day appeal. • Spot local traps such as Eugene’s screening-fee cap instead of assuming every city matches state law. • Use checklists so the same steps happen on every file — the fastest way to stay out of fair-housing trouble. How it works: short videos you can watch, or a written version of each lesson if you would rather read. A 5-question quiz after each module. A 10-question final test. Pass at 60%. Unlimited retakes. $25. One hour of continuing education is included at no extra charge. Course ID RPM-AS-2026-01. Built for brand-new landlords, busy investors, and property managers who want the current Oregon process — not a generic national overview. This course is for education only and is not legal advice. Laws change. When a file is close, talk to an Oregon landlord-tenant attorney.
