A refund of what? Rent payments, deposit, extra costs?

A number of things come into play, and your explanation of the situation is not very detailed. Did landlord fail to meet Oregon statutory habitability requirements, did you give proper notice when you decided to leave? If deposit refund is in issue, did landlord provide timely notice of what he was charging you for, as required by Oregon statutes?

You need to meet with a lawyer in your home area and discuss exactly what happened in order to determine what your rights might be.
