When applying to rent a home in Oregon, does the landlord, by law, have to take the first application received?

Of course not. The landlord always has the choice of which tenant (or no tenant) to accept, as long as he does not discriminate in doing so, in violation of Fair Housing Standards.

No, they can have requirements that a prospective tenant has to meet, like credit and reference checks.
