Landlord Responsibilities - Oklahoma Law


When you sign a lease and make a rental property your temporary home, your landlord has certain responsibilities that must be fulfilled. Oklahoma state law assigns a variety of these responsibilities to a landlord, and the following are issues and services most often incorporated into a binding residential rental contract:

  • Give possession of the premises to you at the beginning of the lease
  • Put and keep the dwelling in a fit and habitable condition (including heat in the winter, air conditioning in the summer, and running water year-round)
  • Repair and keep in working condition all fixtures, including plumbing and electric, unless you agree otherwise in a separate, conspicuous written agreement
  • Return your security deposit within thirty days after receipt of a written request after termination of the lease (under the law, he or she is allowed to keep any interest that accrued on your deposit)
  • Only enter the premises after proper notice to make reasonable and necessary repairs or inspections

Adherence to these responsibilities is imperative in establishing and maintaining a mutually beneficial landlord/tenant relationship. If you are being treated unfairly by an unscrupulous or uniformed landlord, we can help. Call Atkins & Markoff as soon as possible so that you can begin to explore your legal options today.
