House Bill 2550 just passed in the Oregon house and states that no longer will letters to the Seller or “love letters” be allowed to be submitted with an offer. It finds that these letters can undermine fair housing laws. As of January 1, 2022, Buyers will need to let their offers speak for itself.
Here’s a bit more from Oregon REALTORS:
“The bill requiring seller’s agents to reject buyer love letters, House Bill 2550, passed the House this week after Oregon REALTORS® worked to amend the bill in the Senate to make it easier to comply with. Oregon is the first state in the U.S. to take this step to reduce the likelihood that sellers will discriminate against buyers based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, or familial status.”
