Rental application, screening fees in Eugene capped at $10

EUGENE, Ore. — Rent continues to increase year after year.

But application and screening fees aren’t. They’ve been capped at ten dollars.

At least, that’s the case in Eugene.

In 2022, the City of Eugene passed a $10 cap on application fees.

But in 2023, a Lane County court ruled that the cap ran counter to state law.

Last Wednesday, Aug. 28, an appeals court overruled, putting the cap back in place.

Kevin Cronin with the Eugene Tenant Alliance says the decision was a surprise, saying high fees can be a barrier for people seeking housing.

An attorney for the Jennings Group, one of the two property developers to sue the City of Eugene, says they may appeal to the state supreme court.
