Oklahoma Landlord-Tenant Laws
Oklahoma caps security deposits by custom rather than statute and requires deposits to be returned within 45 days of move-out, provided the tenant gives a forwarding address. Landlords must give reasonable notice (commonly 24 hours) before entering, and month-to-month tenancies end on 30 days' notice.
