If the landlord withholds in bad faith
If the landlord fails to provide a written accounting within 31 days, or in bad faith fails to return all or part of a deposit or prepaid rent due, the tenant may recover twice the amount wrongfully withheld or unaccounted for (ORS 90.300(16)).
31 days after tenancy terminates AND tenant delivers possession; written accounting of any withholding required (90.300(12)-(13)). No cap, no interest requirement. Confirmed from official statute: ORS 90.300 has no move-in checklist requirement (Portland's is a city ordinance, not state law).
