Your landlord generally has 31 days in Oregon to return your security deposit or provide a written accounting of any deductions. DepositsBack.app helps you take the next step: a state-specific security deposit notice sent by USPS Certified Mail, with tracking that stays attached to your case. This page summarizes general information from Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.300 and official state sources.
The general deadline is 31 days. Landlords must return the security deposit or provide a written accounting of any deductions within 31 days after the tenancy ends.
You may still be able to send a notice. We show general state information and official sources so you can review your situation and decide your next step.
The Complete Case Bundle includes your notices, USPS Certified Mail history, case summary, evidence checklist, attorney handoff sheet, and official state resources — all in one downloadable ZIP.
If the 31-day deadline passes without a return of your deposit or a written accounting, your records — DepositsBack.app notice, USPS Certified Mail delivery confirmation, and any response uploaded to your case — document the timeline. Under Oregon Revised Statutes § 90.300, a tenant may recover up to twice the amount withheld without a proper written accounting or withheld in bad faith; Oregon small-claims court generally hears disputes up to $10,000. You can review your situation alongside the statute and official state resources, and decide whether to consult an Oregon attorney or proceed with self-help next steps.
