A new Oregon State committee just formed to deal with the Coronavirus issue.  

They had a "streamed" meeting today for four hours and will be holding another meeting on Monday, March 23, 2020.

We are asking all Oregon Landlords to put together a letter on how the Coronavirus has/will affect you, your family, and your tenants and what items you would like your state officials to do to help remedy this situation.  

Attached is the Oregon Rental Housing Association (ORHA) letter that is being sent to our Oregon Landlords that outlines some of the items we are hoping to see in state relief and/or assistance and provides a guide of information you should use for your letters to legislators.
