Statutes
"ORS 87.162 provides for landlord's liens, which cover, with specified exceptions,:
all chattels, except wearing apparel as defined in ORS 18.345 (1), owned by a tenant or occupant legally responsible for rent, brought upon the leased premises, to secure the payment of rent and such advances as are made on behalf of the tenant. The landlord may retain the chattels until the amount of rent and advances is paid."

Comments
| If the equipment lease is a true lease, then the landlord should not be entitled to a lien on that property. However, the safest approach is to get a landlord waiver even if you believe you have a true lease. It is important to keep in mind that there is no cap on the lease damages that are secured by a landlord lien in Oregon. |
