State Of Oregon Recognizes Cybersecurity Awareness Month With Commitment To Online Safety And Education - 10/01/25

Salem, OR -- Enterprise Information Services (EIS) and the state of Oregon are excited to announce their participation in Cybersecurity Awareness Month this October, supporting the global initiative led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) to promote safer online practices for individuals, organizations and communities.

Now in its 22nd year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a call to action for everyone to take responsibility for their online safety. This year’s theme, “Stay Safe Online,” emphasizes the importance of empathy, accessibility and shared responsibility in creating a safer digital world.

“This October let’s turn awareness into action, because every click, password and decision shapes our digital future,” said State Chief Information Security Officer Ben Gherezgiher, “Stay smart. Stay Cyber Strong.”

Throughout October, the state of Oregon government will spotlight the Core 4 cybersecurity practices to reduce cyber risks:

1. Use strong passwords and a password manager to secure accounts.
2. Enable multifactor authentication (MFA) for an extra layer of protection.
3. Keep software updated to patch vulnerabilities.
4. Recognize and report phishing and scams to stay vigilant against threats.

By focusing on simple, effective steps and creating a culture of shared responsibility, the state of Oregon is proud to contribute to the broader mission of building a more secure digital future.

CORRECTION: 2026 Rent Stabilization Percentages - 09/30/25

Salem, OR -- The Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Office of Economic Analysis (OEA) is issuing a correction to the previously published information regarding the 2026 rent stabilization percentages.

The lower maximum rental increase established by HB3054 (6%) is only applicable to manufactured home parks and floating home marinas containing more than 30 spaces.

2026 Rent Stabilization Percentages - 09/30/25

Salem, OR -- Today, Sept. 30, the Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) published the maximum rent increases allowed by law for 2026.

• For rental facilities that are 15 years or older and have 30 or fewer spaces, the maximum rent increase is 9.5%.
• For rental facilities that are 15 years or older with more than 30 spaces, the maximum increase is 6.0%.

Per statute, the Office of Economic Analysis calculates the maximum rent increase by adding 7% to the average change in the cost of living over the past year. Only one rent increase is allowed every 12 months, and the maximum increase is capped at 10%. The cost-of-living change is measured using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, West Region (All Items), published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

House Bill 3054, passed in 2025, changed how rent increases are calculated. Now, the size of the rental property affects the allowed increase.

Rent increase limits are designed to protect tenants from large, unexpected rent hikes.

Oregon law requires the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to publish the maximum rent increase allowed each year by September 30 online. DAS will post the 2027 rent increase limits by September 30, 2026.
