Oklahoma lease questions

How much can a landlord charge for a security deposit in Oklahoma?

Oklahoma statute sets no cap on the deposit, so the amount is whatever the lease says. What Okla. Stat. tit. 41, 115 does fix is how and when the deposit comes back.

When does the security deposit come back in Oklahoma?

Within 45 days after the tenancy ends, the Tenant delivers possession and the Tenant makes a written demand, the Landlord returns the deposit with a written itemized statement of any deductions for unpaid rent and damage, delivered in person or by mail with return receipt; a deposit not demanded in writing within six months after the tenancy ends reverts to the Landlord.

Where does a Oklahoma landlord keep the deposit?

The deposit is kept in an escrow account for the Tenant at a federally insured financial institution in Oklahoma.

How much notice ends a month-to-month tenancy in Oklahoma?

Either party ends a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days' written notice, counted from the date the notice is served.

How much notice does a Oklahoma landlord give before entering?

The Landlord gives at least one day's notice before entering, enters only at reasonable times, and needs no notice in an emergency or when notice is impracticable.

What does a Oklahoma landlord have to disclose with the lease?

Beyond the federal lead paint disclosure for a building built before 1978, the Oklahoma checklist has three items: name and address of the manager, the owner, and the person who accepts service and notices; any known flooding of the Premises in the past five years, stated prominently in the lease; and any known use of the Premises to manufacture methamphetamine, unless testing shows contamination at or below 0.1 micrograms per 100 square centimeters. Each one names its statute and the landlord initials it in the document.

Which Oklahoma statutes does this lease cite?

Okla. Stat. tit. 41, 115; Okla. Stat. tit. 41, 111; Okla. Stat. tit. 41, 128; Okla. Stat. tit. 41, 116; and Okla. Stat. tit. 41, 113a, read on October 23, 2026. They print in the document footer so a reader can check each clause against the statute in a minute.

Should a lawyer look at this Oklahoma lease before I use it?

It is a general form, not legal advice, and it does not claim to comply with any law. The clauses state what the Oklahoma statute requires and name the statute. A lawyer who works with Oklahoma landlords can tell you whether the form fits your property, your city and the terms you want to add, which is worth the hour before signing a lease for a large rent or a long term.
