Security deposits in Oklahoma

Oklahoma puts no dollar limit on a security deposit. What it regulates is where the money sits and how it comes back: every damage or security deposit must be kept in an escrow account for the tenant, maintained in Oklahoma with a federally insured financial institution. Misappropriating it is a crime punishable by up to six months in county jail and a fine of up to twice the amount taken (41 O.S. §115(A)).

• Three-part trigger — The landlord must return the balance, without interest, within 45 days after the tenancy ends, the tenant delivers possession, and the tenant makes a written demand for the deposit. The clock doesn’t start until all three have happened (§115(B)).
• Itemized statement — Any deductions for rent or damages must be itemized in a written statement delivered by mail, return receipt requested, or handed to the tenant in person if they can reasonably be found (§115(B)).
• Six-month demand window — If the tenant makes no written demand within six months after the tenancy ends, the deposit reverts to the landlord and the tenant’s interest in it terminates (§115(B)).
• Not last month’s rent — Unless the lease says otherwise, a tenant can’t apply the deposit to the last month’s rent or use it in place of rent at any time (§115(F)).
• If the landlord doesn’t comply — The tenant may recover the deposit and any prepaid rent, plus any other damages available under the Act (§115(E), (G)). Oklahoma’s statute does not add a double-damages penalty for late return.
• Sale of the property — When the landlord’s interest ends, deposits must either be returned to the tenants or transferred to the successor, with written notice of the transferee’s name and address (§115(C)).
