SECTION 7. ORS 90.396 is amended to read:
90.396. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this
section, after at least 24 hours' written notice specifying the
acts and omissions constituting the cause and specifying the date
and time of the termination, the landlord may terminate the
rental agreement and take possession as provided in ORS 105.105
to 105.168, if:
(a) The tenant, someone in the tenant's control or the tenant's
pet seriously threatens to inflict substantial personal injury,
or inflicts any substantial personal injury, upon a person on the
premises other than the tenant;
(b) The tenant or someone in the tenant's control recklessly
endangers a person on the premises other than the tenant by
creating a serious risk of substantial personal injury;
(c) The tenant, someone in the tenant's control or the tenant's
pet inflicts any substantial personal injury upon a neighbor
living in the immediate vicinity of the premises;
(d) The tenant or someone in the tenant's control intentionally
inflicts any substantial damage to the premises or the tenant's
pet inflicts substantial damage to the premises on more than one
occasion;
(e)(A) The tenant intentionally provided substantial false
information on the application for the tenancy within the past
year;
(B) The false information was with regard to a criminal
conviction of the tenant that would have been material to the
landlord's acceptance of the application; and
(C) The landlord terminates the rental agreement within 30 days
after discovering the falsity of the information; or
(f) The tenant, someone in the tenant's control or the tenant's
pet commits any act that is outrageous in the extreme, on the
premises or in the immediate vicinity of the premises. For
purposes of this paragraph, an act is outrageous in the extreme
if the act is not described in paragraphs (a) to (e) of this
subsection, but is similar in degree and is one that a reasonable
person in that community would consider to be so offensive as to
warrant termination of the tenancy within 24 hours, considering
the seriousness of the act or the risk to others. An act that is
outrageous in the extreme is more extreme or serious than an act
that warrants a 30-day termination under ORS 90.392. Acts that
are ' outrageous in the extreme' include, but are not limited to,
the following acts by a person:
(A) Prostitution, patronizing a prostitute or promoting
prostitution, as described in ORS 167.007, 167.008 and 167.012;
(B) Manufacture, delivery or possession of a controlled
substance, as described in ORS 475.005, but not including:
(i) The medical use of marijuana in compliance with ORS 475.300
to 475.346;
(ii) Possession of, or delivery for no consideration of, less
than one avoirdupois ounce of marijuana as described in ORS
475.860 (3) or 475.864 (3); or
(iii) Possession of prescription drugs;
(C) { - Intimidation - } { + A hate crime + }, as described
in ORS 166.155 and 166.165; or
(D) Burglary as described in ORS 164.215 and 164.225.
(2) If the cause for a termination notice given pursuant to
subsection (1) of this section is based upon the acts of the
tenant's pet, the tenant may cure the cause and avoid termination
of the tenancy by removing the pet from the premises prior to the
end of the notice period. The notice must describe the right of
the tenant to cure the cause. If the tenant returns the pet to
the premises at any time after having cured the violation, the
landlord, after at least 24 hours' written notice specifying the
subsequent presence of the offending pet, may terminate the
rental agreement and take possession as provided in ORS 105.105
to 105.168. The tenant does not have a right to cure this
subsequent violation.
(3) For purposes of subsection (1) of this section, someone is
in the tenant's control if that person enters or remains on the
premises with the tenant's permission or consent after the tenant
reasonably knows or should know of that person's act or
likelihood to commit any act of the type described in subsection
(1) of this section.
(4) An act can be proven to be outrageous in the extreme even
if the act is one that does not violate a criminal statute.
Notwithstanding the references to criminal statutes in subsection
(1)(f) of this section, the landlord's burden of proof in an
action for possession under subsection (1) of this section is the
civil standard of proof by a preponderance of the evidence.
(5) If a good faith effort by a landlord to terminate the
tenancy under subsection (1)(f) of this section and to recover
possession of the rental unit under ORS 105.105 to 105.168 fails
by decision of the court, the landlord may not be found in
violation of any state statute or local ordinance requiring the
landlord to remove that tenant upon threat of fine, abatement or
forfeiture as long as the landlord continues to make a good faith
effort to terminate the tenancy.

by motion may apply to the court where the conviction was entered
for entry of an order setting aside the conviction; or
(b) At any time after the lapse of one year from the date of
any arrest, if no accusatory instrument was filed, or at any time
after an acquittal or a dismissal of the charge, the arrested
person may apply to the court that would have jurisdiction over

motion. The fingerprint card with the notation 'motion for

this subsection, when a person makes a motion under subsection

of such affidavits and may require the taking of such proofs as
the court deems proper. The court shall allow the victim to make
a statement at the hearing. Except as otherwise provided in
subsection (14) of this section, if the court determines that the
circumstances and behavior of the applicant from the date of
conviction, or from the date of arrest as the case may be, to the
date of the hearing on the motion warrant setting aside the
conviction, or the arrest record as the case may be, the court
shall enter an appropriate order that shall state the original
arrest charge and the conviction charge, if any and if different
from the original, date of charge, submitting agency and
disposition. The order shall further state that positive
identification has been established by the Department of State
Police and further identified as to Department of State Police
number or submitting agency number. Upon the entry of the order,
the applicant for purposes of the law shall be deemed not to have
been previously convicted, or arrested as the case may be, and
the court shall issue an order sealing the record of conviction
and other official records in the case, including the records of
arrest whether or not the arrest resulted in a further criminal
proceeding.
(4) The clerk of the court shall forward a certified copy of
the order to such agencies as directed by the court. A certified
copy must be sent to the Department of Corrections when the
person has been in the custody of the Department of Corrections.

proceeding shall be deemed not to have occurred, and the
applicant may answer accordingly any questions relating to its
occurrence.
