Oklahoma Pet Addendum
This Pet Addendum is built with Oklahoma as the governing state. These are the Oklahoma landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

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)).
Oklahoma Pet Addendum FAQs
How much can a landlord charge for a security deposit in Oklahoma?
There is no statutory cap — the lease sets the amount. Oklahoma instead requires the deposit to be held in an escrow account with a federally insured financial institution in Oklahoma, and misappropriating it is a crime (41 O.S. §115(A)).
How long does a landlord have to return a security deposit in Oklahoma?
45 days after the tenancy ends, the tenant delivers possession, and the tenant makes a written demand — all three. Deductions must be itemized in writing, sent by mail with return receipt requested or delivered in person. If the tenant doesn’t demand the deposit in writing within six months, it reverts to the landlord (41 O.S. §115(B)).
