Oklahoma Eviction Notice
Before an Oklahoma landlord can file for eviction, the tenancy usually has to be ended with written notice. How much notice depends on the reason. Here’s what Oklahoma’s statute says for each kind of notice this template builds.
Oklahoma rules at a glance
| Unpaid rent | 5 days. The landlord may terminate if the tenant doesn’t pay within 5 days after a written demand; the demand counts as a demand for possession, so no separate notice to quit is needed.41 O.S. §131(B) |
|---|---|
| Lease violation | 10 days. For a material breach, written notice that the lease ends no sooner than 15 days after receipt unless the breach is fixed within 10 days.41 O.S. §132(B) |
| Serious grounds | No set notice period. Criminal activity threatening the health, safety or peaceful enjoyment of other tenants, and drug-related criminal activity on or near the premises, are grounds for immediate termination.41 O.S. §132(D) |
Ending an Oklahoma tenancy
A fixed-term lease simply expires on its end date without notice unless the parties agree otherwise (41 O.S. §111(C)). Tenancies with no fixed term are ended by written notice.
| Shorter than month-to-month (e.g. week-to-week) | 7 days |
|---|---|
| Month-to-month or at will | 30 days |
| Fixed term | Ends on its end date — no notice required |
- Nonpayment of rent — The landlord may terminate if the tenant doesn’t pay within 5 days after a written demand. The demand counts as a demand for possession, so no separate notice to quit is needed (§131(B)).
- Lease violations — For a material breach, the landlord gives written notice that the lease ends no sooner than 15 days after receipt unless the breach is fixed within 10 days. A later breach after a cured one allows immediate termination on written notice (§132(B)).
- Criminal activity — Criminal activity threatening the health, safety or peaceful enjoyment of other tenants, and drug-related criminal activity on or near the premises, are grounds for immediate termination (§132(D)).
- How notices are served — Termination notices go to the tenant personally, or to a household member over 12; failing that, the notice is posted on the unit and mailed by certified mail (§111(E)).
- Holdover — A tenant who willfully holds over in bad faith can owe up to twice the average monthly rent for each month they stay (§111(D)).
- Domestic violence — A victim of domestic violence, sexual violence or stalking may end the lease without penalty by giving written notice and a protective order within 30 days of the incident (§111(F)).
