Self-Guided Courses

Oregon landlord education that fits your Tuesday night — not our calendar.
 

Oregon landlords rarely get hurt by the rule they already know. They get hurt by the city ordinance, the notice deadline, or the screening step that is different than statewide law. These self-guided courses cover both — state rules and the local rules that apply to your properties — so you can take the class when the problem shows up, not three Tuesdays from now.


What these are

These are short, practical Oregon landlord courses. Each one walks one real job: screening, habitability and turn-ready units, security deposits and move-out accounting, eviction court after a valid notice expires, and more as the library grows.


They are built for the people who actually run Oregon rentals: brand-new owners, busy investors, and working property managers.

Not a generic national overview. Not a live webinar you have to rearrange your week around.


How they work
 

  1. Buy the course you need.

  2. Open Class Materials if you want the checklists and downloads. You do not have to download anything to start — scroll to the bottom of that list and the first lesson unlocks.

  3. Take each module as a short video or as the written version of the same lesson.

  4. Answer a 5-question quiz after each module. Pass at 60%. Unlimited retakes.

  5. Finish the 10-question final test. You get the continuing-education hours printed on that course at no extra charge.


Most courses are about an hour and $25. Longer courses are $45 (2hrs) or $60 (3hrs). CE credit is included.

PAROA members get 25% off these courses with this year’s member coupon.

Why a landlord should buy them

A bad screening decision, a sloppy deposit accounting, a missed city overlay, or a court packet done the wrong way costs far more than the class. These courses put the current Oregon process in order so you can run the same steps on every file.
 

You learn on your schedule. You can watch or read. You keep the materials. And if you hold an Oregon real estate or property manager license, the CE hours come with the course — you are not paying a second fee for the certificate.
 

We are building this into the largest collection of landlord education in Oregon. Start with the topic on your desk this week.


These courses are for education only and are not legal advice. Laws change and can vary by city. When a file is close, talk to an Oregon landlord-tenant attorney.
