Which disclosures must a Oklahoma lease include?
Oklahoma landlord-tenant law is governed by the Oklahoma Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Okla. Stat. Title 41). The core disclosures a Oklahoma landlord must give at or around lease signing:
| Disclosure | Authority | Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| Owner/manager identity | Okla. Stat. tit. 41 § 116 | Every lease |
| Flood disclosure | Okla. Stat. tit. 41 § 41-113a | Flooded within the past 5 years |
| Lead-based paint hazard + EPA pamphlet | Title X (federal) | Housing built before 1978 |
The main Oklahoma lease disclosures
Owner/manager identity (Okla. Stat. tit. 41 § 116): the landlord must disclose the person and address authorized to manage the premises and to accept service
Additional Oklahoma disclosures
Flood disclosure (Okla. Stat. tit. 41 § 41-113a): if the premises flooded within the past five years and the landlord knows it, the landlord must disclose that prominently and in writing in the rental agreement
Federal lead-based paint disclosure
For older housing this is the one disclosure no Oklahoma landlord can skip. If the dwelling predates 1978, Title X (42 U.S.C. § 4852d) requires a signed lead-warning disclosure, disclosure of any known lead hazards, delivery of any available records, and the EPA pamphlet Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home. Non-compliance carries civil penalties and, in egregious cases, criminal ones.
What happens if a Oklahoma landlord skips a required disclosure?
Consequences depend on the disclosure:
- A missing flood disclosure lets the tenant recover flood-related personal-property damages (§ 41-113a).
- The deposit must be held in escrow, and a missed 45-day return exposes the landlord to the deposit plus court costs (§ 41-115).
- A federal lead-paint violation carries civil and, in egregious cases, criminal penalties plus tenant damages.
