OR SB722

Prohibits landlords from using commercial software that relies on nonpublic competitor data (such as actual rent prices, occupancy rates, and lease dates) to set rents or decide to keep units vacant

Landlords who violate the software prohibition are liable for actual damages plus $500 per month of violation to affected tenants or applicants denied housing due to artificially maintained vacancies

Reduces the exemption period for new construction from rent increase caps from 15 years to 7 years after the first certificate of occupancy is issued

Exemptions remain for data reports that do not make rent/occupancy recommendations and for software used to comply with affordable housing program guidelines

Amends ORS 90.323 and 90.600, applying the shortened exemption period to both standard residential tenancies and manufactured dwelling park tenancies
