President’s Message Recently, I have been thinking about what a great country and community we live in. There are so many opportunities to volunteer and get involved in helping individuals and our community as a whole. We are able to share our talents with others, and grow through the shared experiences. Recently, I Rha Oregon President was watching my daughter’s eyes as she talked about her John Sage involvement with the Youth Advisory Committee in our city, Peer Court, and the next play that the drama department is going to be producing at her school. The excitement that danced in her eyes reminded me of the joys of being involved in something larger than one’s self. Don’t we all remember the joy of the first time that we volunteered our time to help bring something into being? The increased feeling of self-worth and respect for those you were working with is immeasurable. It is with this in mind that I write to you today. We are gearing up at RHAOregon for the upcoming summer months. First Contract Furnishings Mart is holding their annual dinner for RHAOregon members on June 16th at their Beaverton location. This is always a fun and joyful event. RHAOregon’s 2nd Annual Starry Night event on July 15th is an opportunity for our members to help raise funds for JOIN, to get a family off the streets and into housing. You can volunteer to help the committee organize the event, donate silent and oral auction items or raffle prizes and attend this event. Last year we raised over $2,500 to help get one family into housing and this year’s goal is to raise even more. As always in August there is the RHAOregon picnic at Oaks Park. This year the date is August 12th , so mark your calendars. There will be games for members young and old, our buffet dinner served by the board of directors, vendors tables for you to gather information from our affiliate members, and of course the rides at Oaks Park to enjoy. Then of course there are the committees that serve the organization on a monthly basis that you can get involved in. These committees help to grow our organization (Membership Committee), educate our members by scheduling training and instructors (Education Committee), provide opportunities for our vendor partners to grow along with us (Marketing Committee). We at RHAOregon invite you to attend our events. We also invite you to volunteer for one of our committees. You truly will enjoy the time spent helping and getting to know the other landlords that serve on the board and volunteer for your organization.

Our ancestors that built the great communities that we live in understood the value of volunteering and how it helped to strengthen the bonds of the community, increased skill development, socialization, self-worth and respect. So I encourage you to volunteer your skills, time and knowledge to help RHAOregon to continue to set the standard for community participation for landlords proving affordable and quality housing.

Sincerely, John Sage President RHA Oregon, Stegmann Insurance Agency Inc. Since 1927, the Rental Housing Alliance Oregon has set the standard for community participation by landlords providing affordable and quality housing.

RENTAL ALLIANCE UPDATE June 2015

Landlord Outreach: Catholic Charities is partnering with landlords to increase rental housing options in areas that present high opportunity for residents to prosper. Catholic Charities provides individuals and families with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to improve their situations and escape poverty through a variety of programs: El Programa Hispano Católico (services for Latino families), affordable and transitional housing, permanent supportive housing, housing advocacy, immigration legal services, refugee resettlement services, financial wellness education and coaching, domestic violence support, pregnancy support and counseling, and adoption services. Many Catholic Charities clients have Housing Choice Vouchers. Catholic Charities is also working to increase successful housing placements of voucher holders since the Oregon Housing Choice Act of 2013 (House Bill 2639) passed, prohibiting discrimination based on source of income (including Section 8). Housing is a significant barrier for many people and Catholic Charities values relationships with landlords and the importance landlords play in reducing the barriers to the success of our more vulnerable community members. What’s in it for landlords? • Professional relationship with Catholic Charities staff to support the rental process and a successful landlord tenant relationship (e.g., translation services & rent assistance program info) • Large pool of potential tenants and low turnover among Section 8 tenants • The additional support Catholic Charities tenants receive provides assurance to landlords that the clients’ resource needs are being met and lowers the risk of unforeseen crisis • Housing Choice (Section 8) Vouchers provide guaranteed payments and cover tenant damage beyond normal wear and tear if it occurs • Give back to the community; increase housing equity in the Portland metro area and provide residents the option to stay or move into an area that may support their success. If you are a landlord and would like to learn more about how to partner with Catholic Charities, please contact: Tiffiny Hager, Landlord Engagement Specialist. thager@catholiccharitiesoregon.org. 503-358-5819 www.

FAIR HOUSING AND ADVERTISING By Jo Becker, Education/Outreach Specialist, Fair Housing Council of Oregon

I recently reread a 2009 report produced by the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) on how internet housing ads perpetuate discrimination Fair Housing Act (http://www.nationalfairhousing. The covers all housing ads and, while there’s confusion org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=zg over liability online bukJP2rMM%3d&tabid=2510&m services face when illegally discriminatory ads are id=8347). posted on their sites, it is As we can attest to from our own office’s investigations, illegal ads are prolific online, decades after Congress and the Fair Housing Act1 made them illegal. Following are some highlights from the report.

clear that the poster – that is, the housing provider doing the advertising is most certainly liable.

Be sure you’re up-to-speed with the letter and the spirit of the law, as well as developments in the fair housing world.

There is no disagreement that landlords, real estate agents, and others who create and place these discriminatory ads are legally liable for violating the Fair Housing Act. In passing the Fair Housing Act in 1968, Congress wanted to hold publishers responsible for third parties as a way of eliminating the problem most efficiently.

Every day in the United States, thousands of people view rental advertisements that illegally deny housing to families with children and others protected by the federal Fair Housing Act. Although newspapers have been held liable under the Fair Housing Act for publishing discriminatory housing advertisements with statements such as “no kids,” or “couples only,” the publishers of similar ads on the Internet have not been held to the same legal standard. In order to address this disparity in the law, which holds print 1 Federally protected classes under the Fair Housing Act include: race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status (children), and disability. Oregon law also protects marital status, source of income, sexual orientation, and domestic violence survivors. Additional protected classes have been added in particular geographic areas; visit FHCO. org/mission.htm and read the section entitled “View Local Protected Classes” for more information.

RENTAL ALLIANCE UPDATE June 2015

Fair Housing and Advertising: continued from page 7

advertisements and online advertisements to separate and unequal standards, the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) urges Congress to amend the Communications Decency Act. The federal Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to make, print or publish or cause to be made, printed or published housing ads that discriminate, limit or deny equal access to apartments or homes because of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, familial status and disability <There are, of course, additional state and local protected classes1.>. In order to comply with the Fair Housing Act, newspapers utilize screening systems to keep advertisements containing discriminatory statements from being printed. <And they’re often much more conservative than fair housing advocates are! Take a look at FHCO’s popular article, “The List” (www.FHCO.org/pdfs/article_thelist.pdf) for more this and related urban legends).> However, a legal interpretation of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) holds that interactive Internet providers, like craigslist, are not publishers and, therefore, are not liable for violating the Fair Housing Act if discriminatory housing ads are published on their sites. Yet it needn’t be difficult. Internet providers can implement filtering systems just as print publications can (arguably it’d be all the easier for them to do so) to prevent individuals from posting illegally discriminatory verbiage. Either way, whether or not a site is liable in a given situation (we feel it is), the poster most certainly is! As a housing provider advertising residential properties you should know that fair housing advocates such as our office and others, including national groups, periodically

comb sites and publications for violations. Our advice: treat any possible form of advertising – whatever your role in it – as if it falls under federal, state, and / or local fair housing laws. This includes written, printed, online, posted signs, oral statements, etc. – whether free or paid. During the past year, NFHA and <several of its members> identified more than 7,500 discriminatory ads placed by housing providers on various websites. Yet, only 1,000 complaints have been filed with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) because both HUD and private fair housing agencies lack the staff and time to work through the cumbersome process required to identify and bring these landlords to justice. Sadly, these ads reinforce the message to public readers that refusing to rent, or sell, or lend, or insure based on any of the protected classes is acceptable and even legal. What’s more, it confuses those who wish to follow the law or would be inclined to if they were better informed. All the more reason for the proactive stance the FHCO has always taken on education as a tool to eradicate illegal housing discrimination coupled, of course, with enforcement activities because the battle won’t be won with a ‘carrot’ alone. The Fair Housing Act covers all advertising for the rental… or sale of homes as well as advertising for home loans, homeowners/renters insurance, and any service related to housing. Language in the Fair Housing Act and in the regulations implementing the law makes it clear that the law is also intended to prevent newspapers and other media from publishing advertisements or notices that limit housing to specific individuals or indicate a preference for certain people. The law states: It shall be unlawful to make, print, or publish or cause to be made, printed, or published any notice, statement, or advertisement, with respect to the sale or rental of a dwelling that indicates any preference, limitation, or discrimination based on <protected class> (emphasis added).

Fair Housing and Advertising: continued from page 8

The NFHA report identified thousands of ads that violate the Fair Housing Act—in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, including Portland and Bend, Oregon. As a result, the national organization filed over a thousand complaints with HUD against posters. The most common Fair Housing Act violation that NFHA and its members found on the Internet was advertising discriminating against families with children. NFHA found ads stating preferences for tenants who were “single” or “a couple of individuals.” Phrases such as “perfect for young couple” or “three adults” were found in ads for houses or apartments with multiple bedrooms. These ads indicate an illegal preference or limitation and discourage families with children from even considering contacting a landlord. <Note: This is different than occupancy standards. To read up on the subject visit www. FHCO.org/discrimination-in-oregon/protectedclasses/familial/occupancy.> Many of the properties with such discriminatory language have multiple bedrooms, and would be ideal for families with children. Some examples of discriminatory language identified include: • 2BR: “Mature couple or single with no children” NY • 3BR: Duplex: “Christian atmosphere” IN • 2BR: “PERFECT FOR 2 ADULTS….seeking a maximum of 2 tenants” CT • 2BR: “Couples preferred” Chicago, IL • 4BR: “Looking for responsible adults to enjoy home” VT

themselves.” GA, and from here in Oregon… • RV Hookup “Hopefully we can find someone that is a Christian and loves God with all of their hearts” OR Be sure you’re well informed and complying with both the letter and the spirit of fair housing laws.

Apartment Rents Have Nowhere To Go But Up in 2015 By Clifford A. Hockley, President Bluestone & Hockley Real Estate Services As tall tower cranes have become a fixture in the Portland skyline, many are wondering how many units will be added to the Portland metro area in the next few years. According to the spring 2015 Barry Report (published by Patrick and Mark Barry Appraisers) somewhere between 12,000-16,000 units will be built between 2015 and 2016. Typical annual demand is between 3,000 and 4,000 units per year. That translates into a likely surplus of apartment units in 2016. Given the increased supply, what is forcing rents up? Increased demand for rentals is driven by demographic changes, population growth, and job growth. The low rate of apartment vacancies, at the 3% mark across the Portland Metro marketplace, is evidence of this. Demographic changes. The millennials have exited college, moved out of their parents’ home and are populating central urban areas of major cities. They have created significant apartment demand in the metro Portland area. Note: Developers and investors need to use caution as they continue to race ahead. Within five years, 50% of this cohort is looking to live in a suburban environment. (According to Trulia‘s chief economist Jed Kilko in a blog he posted on January 22, 2015 http://read.bi/1Ff3PHo ) Population growth. Since 2010, an estimated 116,168 people have moved to the Portland metropolitan area. This reflects a 5.2% growth rate from 2010–2014, which is the 20th-fastest in the country among large cities in the United States, and fourth-fastest outside the Sun Belt. http://bit.ly/1FGrIc7 Job Growth. Portland has gained jobs more rapidly than Seattle, San Francisco and most other major U.S. metro areas in the past year. Portland’s employment base expanded 3.1% from June 2013-June 2014, the area’s fastest annual growth rate in nine years. According to state workforce economist Christian Kaylor, the past year marked only the second stretch since the mid-1990s that job growth exceeded 3% in Portland. Cost of construction. In 2010, the cost of building a two bedroom one bath apartment unit with a washer/dryer

hookup was approximately $90,000–$95,000 per unit. Today that cost ranges from $125,000-$165,000 for wood frame apartment buildings up to five floors. The cost of construction is significantly greater for buildings over five floors due to the higher cost associated in building with concrete and metal. A recent appraisal completed by Barry and Associates for the construction of a “high end” five story elevator-served building priced out at $230,000 per unit all in (system development charges, soft and hard costs and developer profit.) A number of factors account for the increased costs of construction: Increased land prices. Land prices that were down to $10,000 a unit during the recession are now averaging closer to $20,000 a unit for multifamily units, with some deals coming in at $30,000 – 40,000 a unit (which was once prerecession pricing for townhouse unit land.) Code changes. There have been many code changes in the last six years. In 2012 the Oregon Structural Specialty Code was revised using the framework of the international building code. This had many implications. First of all, new multifamily properties are now required to install fire suppression sprinklers. Additionally, there are more complete requirements for handicapped accessibility, seismic resistance, and stricter codes regarding air flow into buildings. These new requirements have increased building costs significantly. Lack of enough labor. The 2014-2015 construction boom has created increased demand for construction labor creating a lack of contractors and laborers available to complete projects. This labor shortage has increased the cost and supply of labor. Commercial increases have averaged 4.4% over the last two years. According to Brian Frank, President of Keyway square

Apartment Rents Have No Where To Go: continued from page 15

feet in the city center and over 700 square feet outside of the city. The proposed increases follow a sliding scale based on unit size which may increase fees up to 52% for outer city units more than 2,200 square feet. Commercial increases in this proposal are budgeted to increase 113%281%. Increases in operating expenses. Water and sewer bills, property taxes (with bond measure increases) and regular maintenance are making properties more expensive to Construction, a construction company that specializes in the construction of midrise wood frame apartment communities, the cost for labor across all trades has increased about 5% due to a shortage of experienced trades people. Increased material costs. The cost of construction materials have been increasing as well. More importantly, there are more materials needed to complete the construction of apartments and homes in order to comply with code changes. Brian Frank of Keyway Construction pointed out that the cost of materials has risen about 5% this year. The combination of labor and materials brings the total increase in apartment construction costs in the last 8â&#x20AC;&#x201C;12 months to 10% (of experienced tradespeople.) http://on.wsj.com/1HVYaa6

Increased systems development charges. System development charges increase annually. The Portland Parks and Recreation Department, led by Commissioner Amada Fritz, recently proposed residential increases in parks-related fees for units over 1,700 square feet in the city center and over 700 square feet outside of the city. The proposed increases follow a sliding scale based on unit size which may increase fees up to 52% for outer city units more than 2,200 square feet. Commercial increases in this proposal are budgeted to increase 113%-281%. The bottom line Rent increases will continue to go up in the next 24 months as a response to continued robust demand and job growth. Additionally, the cost of construction is forcing developers to increase their asking rates in order to meet all of the economic needs for their projects. There are two kinds of rent to consider: Rents for newly constructed properties will continue to be strong, ranging from $2.50-$2.75 per foot, even reaching as high as $3.00 per foot for very small units, but significant concessions will be needed to fill these properties. Also, as more of these new properties lack parking we will see some shift of tenants to properties that have a parking component. Well located, well maintained older product rents are in the $1.50 per foot range, while further outside the metro area rents are ranging closer to $1.00 per foot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Value addâ&#x20AC;? properties, which have been substantially upgraded, are nearing the $1.75-2.00 per foot mark. We expect to see rents for existing properties continue to increase from between 4%-7% each year over the next two years, as existing multifamily housing adjusts to the increasing demand in the marketplace. In summary, rents have nowhere to go but up in 2015 due to a shortage of experienced tradespeople.

Increased permit costs. Every year there are typically some increases in permit fees to offset the operation of the permit center staff who manage the permitting and inspection requests. Patrick Barry of Barry and Associates noted recently that system development and permit costs were approaching $20,000 per unit in the Portland Metro area, with a recent smaller project actually costing $25,000 a unit.
