Oregon put the no-pet-fee rule in the landlord-tenant act itself
In most states the answer to "can they still charge pet rent?" comes from federal guidance and has to be explained to the landlord. Oregon dealt with assistance animals inside its residential landlord and tenant law, so the answer sits in the statute a property manager already works from every day.
That changes the tone of the conversation. You are not asking a Portland landlord to accept an interpretation of federal policy; you are pointing at the body of law that governs their leases.
What Oregon renters are working with
Assistance animals are addressed in state landlord-tenant law
Not only in fair housing guidance, which is why the rules are more familiar to Oregon property managers than to their counterparts elsewhere.
Statewide tenant protections apply on top
Oregon has gone further than most states on rent and tenancy rules generally, and those protections sit alongside your accommodation request rather than replacing it.
Portland adds its own layer
The city has additional renter ordinances, and a Portland landlord is subject to them as well as to state and federal law.
Enforcement runs through BOLI
The Civil Rights Division of the Bureau of Labor and Industries takes housing discrimination complaints, with HUD available federally.
Bend, Eugene and the coast are their own markets
Central Oregon's growth has pushed Bend rents to levels that make every application competitive, and the coastal towns carry heavy seasonal turnover. Eugene and Corvallis run on the university calendar. In all of them supply is the constraint, not the law.
A complete request sent early is worth more than a strong argument sent late, because the unit will simply be gone.
What the statute does not do
It does not create a registry, because none exists in Oregon or anywhere else. It does not make a certificate purchased online into evidence. And it does not remove your responsibility for damage the animal causes, which stays with you exactly as it would for any tenant.
Oregon ESA letter and PSD questions
How do I get an ESA letter in Oregon?
Start with the free screening. Where an evaluation is appropriate, an Oregon-licensed clinician conducts one by video and issues a letter if the assessment supports it.
Can a Portland landlord charge pet rent for an approved assistance animal?
Fees that exist because of the pet policy should not attach to an approved assistance animal, and in Oregon that sits in the landlord-tenant framework rather than only in federal guidance. Your ordinary deposit and your liability for damage continue.
Does Oregon keep a register of assistance animals?
No. Nothing of the kind exists here, and a site selling Oregon registration is selling a document your landlord may disregard entirely.
Will a Washington or California clinician's letter be accepted in Portland?
Generally not, even across the river from Vancouver. The licence needs to cover Oregon because the tenancy is in Oregon.
My Bend lease is seasonal. Am I still covered?
A brief tenancy carries the same obligation as a long one. The length of the tenancy is not by itself a reason to refuse a documented request.
Who takes a complaint if I am turned down?
The Civil Rights Division at the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, or HUD federally. Neither charges you to file, and both will want the refusal in writing.

Oregon licences, checked before a case is assigned
Vancouver sits minutes from Portland and a great deal of cross-river documentation arrives as a result, so jurisdiction is confirmed against Oregon at the outset.
