Housing (Landlords)

HB 3407 creates a new lien for property owners who allow manufactured homes to be placed on their land. If a manufactured home owner doesn't control or use their home for 120 consecutive days, the property owner may claim a lien for the fair rental value of the home. This lien can be enforced like other property liens under Oklahoma law. The bill takes effect on November 1, 2026, directly affecting property owners and manufactured home residents.

HB 1083 preempts local housing regulations in Oklahoma, meaning state law (not city or county rules) governs residential tenancy matters like security deposits, lease terms, screening processes, and tenant rights. It prohibits landlords from retaliating against tenants who exercise legal rights - such as reporting housing code violations, requesting repairs, or complaining to housing inspectors - within 60 days of such actions. Tenants who face retaliation can recover one month's rent, actual damages, court costs, and attorney fees. The bill takes effect November 1, 2025, directly affecting all landlords and tenants in Oklahoma's residential rental market.
