Oklahoma has no manufactured-home-community tenancy act, but its Residential Landlord and Tenant Act reaches rented lots by name: a dwelling unit includes any site, space or lot leased to the owner or resident of a manufactured or mobile home, and a landlord includes the owner of such a site, space or lot.

Cited to 41 O.S. §§ 101–136 (Oklahoma Residential Landlord and Tenant Act) and 3 more sources · Verified August 23, 2026

The practical result is that ordinary tenancy rules apply to the lot. A month-to-month lot tenancy ends on at least thirty days' written notice from either side, with no reason required; unpaid lot rent carries a five-day written demand that the resident may cure by paying; a material breach of the agreement ends the tenancy no sooner than fifteen days after notice, with ten days to put it right; and a lot deposit sits in escrow and comes back within forty-five days of the tenancy ending, possession being delivered and written demand. Nothing limits lot-rent increases or requires notice before one, and cities and towns are barred from regulating residential rents. There is no closure or change-of-use notice, no relocation payment, no notice to residents that the community is for sale, no purchase right, and no protection for selling a home in place.

Each row below is a state rule (with its citation) or an honest "no state rule" with what governs instead — lease terms and the general landlord-tenant law still apply where the park act is silent. This page covers a resident who owns the home and rents the lot; a home rented from the park is an ordinary Oklahoma tenancy.

A. Scope — who and what the act covers

Rule Oklahoma law Source
State agency with a role in park tenancies No state rule No state agency administers lot tenancies in a manufactured-home community. Rights and duties under the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act are enforced by the parties themselves in any court of appropriate jurisdiction, including small claims court, and the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. The Oklahoma Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and Manufactured Housing Commission exists, but its work is licensing dealers, installers and inspectors rather than the relationship between a community owner and a resident. 41 O.S. § 105 subsection B; 47 O.S. § 582
Resident may sue under the act Yes A resident who rents a lot may sue under the act. Any right, obligation or remedy the act declares is enforceable in any court of appropriate jurisdiction, including small claims court, and may be prosecuted as part of a forcible entry and detainer action unless the provision that creates it says otherwise. In an action for breach of a rental agreement, or to enforce a right or obligation the act provides, the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. The route is open to a lot tenancy because the act defines a dwelling unit to include any site, space or lot leased to the owner or resident of a manufactured or mobile home. 41 O.S. § 105 subsection B; 41 O.S. § 102 paragraph 3
Minimum park size for the act to apply (lots) No state rule No minimum number of lots switches the rules on. The act applies to a rental agreement for a dwelling unit located in the state, and a dwelling unit includes any site, space or lot leased to the owner or resident of a manufactured or mobile home, so a single rented lot is inside the act. Oklahoma has no separate manufactured-home-community statute that could carry a park-size threshold. 41 O.S. § 103 subsection A; 41 O.S. § 102 paragraph 3
Other size thresholds that switch rules on No state rule No size threshold switches any rule on or off. The act's coverage turns on whether there is a rental agreement for a dwelling unit, not on how many lots a community has, and the only arrangements it excludes are the six listed in its scope section, none of which is defined by size. 41 O.S. § 103 subsection A; 41 O.S. § 104
Park-owned rental homes Ordinary landlord-tenant law applies Renting a home the community owns is governed by the same statute that governs renting the lot. Oklahoma has no separate manufactured-home-community act, so both arrangements sit inside the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act: a dwelling unit is a structure, or part of a structure, used as a home, residence or sleeping place, and it also includes any site, space or lot leased to the owner or resident of a manufactured or mobile home. 41 O.S. § 102 paragraph 3; 41 O.S. § 103 subsection A
RVs and park-model homes No state rule Nothing in Oklahoma law says whether a recreational vehicle or a park-model home is inside or outside these rules. The definitions name only a manufactured or mobile home, and the act's list of arrangements it does not govern reaches transient occupancy in a hotel, motel or other similar lodging regardless of the length of the stay, without mentioning a recreational-vehicle space. 41 O.S. § 102 paragraph 3; 41 O.S. § 104 paragraph 4
Local rent regulation of park lots Preempted — local governments may not regulate lot rents Oklahoma cities and towns may not regulate lot rents. State law says no municipal governing body may enact, maintain or enforce any ordinance or resolution which regulates the amount of rent to be charged for privately owned, single-family or multiple unit residential or commercial rental property. Three things are left open: a municipality may regulate property it owns, may agree with private owners on rents for subsidized rental properties, and may restrict rent for properties assisted with federal Community Development Block Grant funds. The bar is written for municipal governing bodies and says nothing about counties. 11 O.S. § 14-101.1 subsections A and B

B. Lot rent, fees and utilities

Rule Oklahoma law Source
Notice before a lot-rent increase No state rule No statute requires notice before lot rent goes up. Rent is payable at the time and place the parties agreed, so an increase during a term needs the resident's agreement. To impose new terms without it, a community owner has to end the month-to-month tenancy on at least thirty days' written notice, or seven days where the tenancy is shorter than month-to-month, and offer a new agreement — which makes thirty days the practical floor, but as a notice ending the tenancy rather than a notice of the increase. 41 O.S. § 111 subsections A and B; 41 O.S. § 109 subsection B
How often rent may be raised No state rule No statute limits how often lot rent may be raised. The act fixes only when rent is payable and leaves the amount to the rental agreement, and no other section sets a minimum interval between increases. 41 O.S. § 109; 41 O.S. § 111 subsection A
Statewide limit on lot-rent increases No state rule Oklahoma sets no ceiling on lot-rent increases. The act contains no rent limit of any kind, and state law separately bars municipalities from regulating the amount of rent charged for privately owned residential rental property, so no local ceiling can fill the gap either. A bill to restrict rent increases under the act was introduced in the 2026 session and did not advance out of committee. 41 O.S. § 109; 11 O.S. § 14-101.1 subsection A
How a resident can challenge an increase No state rule There is no statutory way to challenge a lot-rent increase. Oklahoma has no mediation, petition or reasonableness test for rent, and no state agency reviews increases. What a resident has instead is the same thirty days' notice that ends a month-to-month tenancy, which may be given by either side, so the practical choice is to accept the new rent or to end the tenancy within that period. 41 O.S. § 111 subsection A; 41 O.S. § 109
Entrance fee prohibited No state rule No statute bars an entrance fee. The act lists six terms a rental agreement may not contain, and a fee for moving a home onto a lot is not among them. What governs an entrance fee is the rental agreement itself. 41 O.S. § 113 subsection A
Exit or removal fee prohibited No state rule No statute bars an exit or removal fee. The same section that lists the terms a rental agreement may not contain says nothing about a charge for leaving the community or for moving a home off a lot, and the act's definition of rent takes in all payments to be made under the rental agreement other than deposits and damages. 41 O.S. § 113 subsection A; 41 O.S. § 102 paragraph 11
Undisclosed fees uncollectible No state rule A fee the community owner failed to disclose is not made uncollectible by statute. The act requires the rental agreement to identify in writing who may accept service and notice and to disclose the manager's and owner's names and addresses, but it attaches no consequence to leaving a charge out of the agreement. The general position is that rent means all payments to be made under the rental agreement, so a charge is collectible if the agreement provides for it. 41 O.S. § 116 subsection A; 41 O.S. § 102 paragraph 11
Utility billing rules No state rule No statute governs how a community owner bills residents for utilities. Oklahoma sets no ceiling tied to the actual utility cost and no rule on markups or administrative charges. What exists instead is a duty to supply: except for a single-family residence, or where the service reaches the dwelling unit through direct and independently metered utility connections, the owner must supply running water, reasonable amounts of hot water at all times and reasonable heat. If the owner willfully or negligently fails to supply heat, running water, hot water, electric, gas or another essential service, the resident may give written notice and then end the agreement, buy the service and deduct its actual and reasonable cost from rent, recover damages based on the drop in fair rental value, or procure substitute housing and stop paying rent for the period. 41 O.S. § 118 subsection A, paragraph 5; 41 O.S. § 121 subsection C
Submetering required or regulated No state rule Nothing requires or regulates submetering. The one place the statute mentions metering is the landlord's duty to supply water and heat, which does not apply where the service reaches the dwelling unit through direct and independently metered utility connections. That clause decides who must supply a service, not how a submetered account may be read or billed. 41 O.S. § 118 subsection A, paragraph 5
Lot security deposit rules A lot deposit must be held in an escrow account in Oklahoma at a federally insured financial institution, and the balance must be returned within 45 days after the tenancy ends, possession is delivered and the resident makes written demand. The rules reach a rented lot because the act defines a landlord to include the owner, lessor or sublessor of a manufactured or mobile home site, space or lot. Misappropriating the deposit is an offense punishable by up to six months in a county jail and a fine of up to twice the amount taken. At the end of the tenancy the owner may apply the deposit to accrued rent and to damages from the resident's noncompliance, all itemized in a written statement delivered by return-receipt mail or in person. The balance is returned without interest. A resident who makes no written demand within six months after the tenancy ends loses the deposit to the owner. No cap is set on the amount, and the resident may not use the deposit in place of the last month's rent unless the agreement allows it. Where the owner's interest ends by sale or otherwise, the holder must either transfer the deposits to the successor and tell the residents in writing of the transfer and the new holder's name and address, or return the deposits. 41 O.S. § 115 subsections A, B, C and F; 41 O.S. § 102 paragraphs 2 and 5

C. Lease, rules and disclosure

Rule Oklahoma law Source
Written lease Not required A lot tenancy does not have to be in writing. Where the rental agreement does not fix a definite term in writing, the tenancy is month-to-month, apart from a roomer or boarder paying weekly rent. Certain terms must still be put in writing when they are used, including the identity of the owner and manager, a flood history within the past five years, and any agreement that the resident will carry out specified repairs or maintenance. 41 O.S. § 110; 41 O.S. § 116 subsection A; 41 O.S. § 113a subsection A
Minimum lease term that must be offered No state rule No minimum lease term has to be offered. The default is the opposite of a long term: unless the rental agreement fixes a definite term in writing, the tenancy is month-to-month. A tenancy for a definite term expires on its ending date without notice unless the parties agree otherwise. 41 O.S. § 110; 41 O.S. § 111 subsection C
Notice to end a tenancy without cause 30 days Either side may end a month-to-month lot tenancy for no stated reason on at least thirty days' written notice. The thirty days run from the date the notice is served. Where the tenancy is shorter than month-to-month the period is seven days. A tenancy for a definite term expires on its ending date without any notice unless the parties agreed otherwise. Notice must be served on the person unless the law says otherwise; if the resident cannot be found it may go to a household member over twelve years old, and failing that it may be posted conspicuously on the dwelling unit and a copy mailed by certified mail or through the Firm Mailing Book for Accountable Mail. 41 O.S. § 111 subsections A, B, C and E
Notice before park rules change No state rule No fixed notice period runs before a community rule changes. A rule is enforceable only if it promotes the convenience, peace, safety or welfare of residents, preserves the owner's property from abusive use or fairly distributes services, is reasonably related to that purpose, applies to all residents fairly, is explicit enough to tell a resident what to do, is not a way of evading the owner's own duties, and was known to the resident when the agreement was made or when the rule was adopted. A rule adopted later that works a substantial modification of the resident's bargain is not valid unless the resident consents in writing. 41 O.S. § 126 subsections A and B
Disclosure document Written rules and terms must be given Oklahoma prescribes no handbook, but several disclosures must be in writing. As part of any rental agreement the community owner must prominently identify in writing the person and address entitled to accept service or notice, and must disclose the names and addresses of the manager, the owner, or a person authorized to receive service for the owner, keeping that information current. A landlord who does not comply becomes the agent of the owner for receiving notices and for performing the owner's duties. If the premises flooded within the past five years and the owner knows it, that must be stated prominently in any written rental agreement. If the owner knows or has reason to know the premises were used to manufacture methamphetamine, that must be disclosed before the agreement begins unless testing shows contamination below the stated level. Community rules bind a resident only if the resident had notice of them. 41 O.S. § 116 subsections A and B; 41 O.S. § 113a subsection A; 41 O.S. § 118 subsection C; 41 O.S. § 126 subsection A, paragraph 6
Residents' right to meet and organize No state rule No statute protects residents' meetings or organizing. Oklahoma has no provision on residents' associations, on handing out information in a community, or on visits by public officials or housing organizations. Community rules govern the use of common areas, subject only to the general test that a rule be reasonable, evenly applied and known to the resident. 41 O.S. § 126 subsection A
Owner entry onto the lot or into the home The community owner must give at least one day's notice of an intent to enter and may enter only at reasonable times, except in an emergency or where notice is impracticable. The rule reaches the lot because the act defines a dwelling unit to include the site, space or lot leased to the owner of a manufactured or mobile home. A resident may not unreasonably withhold consent to entry to inspect, make necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations or improvements, supply agreed services, or show the unit to prospective buyers, lenders, residents, workers or contractors. The owner may enter without consent in an emergency, may not abuse the right of access or use it to harass, and has no other right of access during the tenancy except under the act or a court order. A resident who refuses lawful access may face an action to compel it or termination of the agreement; an unlawful entry, a lawful entry made unreasonably, or repeated unreasonable demands for entry let the resident seek an injunction or end the agreement and recover actual damages. 41 O.S. § 128 subsections A, B, C, D and E; 41 O.S. § 124 subsection A
Retaliation prohibited No state rule Oklahoma has no general ban on retaliation against a resident. The act contains no provision protecting a resident who complains, calls an inspector or takes legal action. The one related rule is narrower: a landlord may not deny, refuse to renew or terminate a tenancy because an applicant, resident or household member is a victim or alleged victim of domestic violence, sexual violence or stalking, whether or not a protective order is in force, and may not deny a tenancy or retaliate because the person previously ended a rental agreement on that ground. A separate provision lets a victim end a lease without penalty on written notice with a protective order within thirty days of the incident. 41 O.S. § 113.3; 41 O.S. § 111 subsection F

D. Termination and eviction

Rule Oklahoma law Source
Just cause required to end a tenancy No A community owner does not need a reason to end a month-to-month lot tenancy. Either party may end it on at least thirty days' written notice, or seven days where the tenancy is shorter than month-to-month, and a tenancy for a definite term expires on its ending date without notice. Cause matters only where the owner wants to end the tenancy faster than the notice period: unpaid rent, a breach of the agreement or of the resident's statutory duties, conduct causing imminent and irremediable harm, or criminal activity each carry their own shorter route. 41 O.S. § 111 subsections A, B and C; 41 O.S. § 132 subsections B, C and D
Grounds for termination No state rule Oklahoma lists no grounds for ending a lot tenancy, because it does not require a ground. What the act sets out instead are routes with their own notice periods: thirty days' written notice to end a month-to-month tenancy without a reason, five days' written demand for unpaid rent, fifteen days' notice with ten days to cure for a material breach of the agreement or of the resident's duties, immediate filing where noncompliance causes or threatens imminent and irremediable harm to the premises or to any person, and immediate termination for criminal activity that threatens other residents' health, safety or peaceful enjoyment or for drug-related criminal activity on or near the premises. Using the dwelling unit for anything other than a place to live is itself a breach. 41 O.S. § 132 subsections A, B, C and D; 41 O.S. § 131 subsection B; 41 O.S. § 129 subsection A
Notice for nonpayment of lot rent 5 days Five days' written notice, and the resident may keep the tenancy by paying within them. The community owner may end the agreement for failure to pay lot rent when due only if the resident fails to pay within five days after written notice of the owner's demand for payment. The notice may be given before or after the owner files an action to recover the rent, and a demand for past-due rent counts as a demand for possession, so no further notice to quit is needed. Oklahoma sets no grace period before a late fee may be charged. 41 O.S. § 131 subsections A and B
Notice for a rule or lease violation 15 days A material breach of the agreement or of the resident's statutory duties ends the tenancy no sooner than fifteen days after the resident receives written notice, and the resident has ten days to put it right. The notice must specify the acts and omissions. If the breach is cured within the ten days the tenancy continues. Where the problem can be fixed by repair, replacement of a damaged item or cleaning, the owner may instead give ten days' notice and, if the resident does not act, do the work and bill the actual and reasonable cost as rent, in which case the tenancy may not be ended for that breach. Notice is served in the same way as a notice to end a tenancy. 41 O.S. § 132 subsections A and B; 41 O.S. § 127
Repeat-violation rule After one notice and cure, any later breach of the lease or of the resident's duties is a ground for immediate termination on written notice. The rule sits at the end of the section on a resident's noncompliance, so it follows a first notice that specified the acts and omissions and gave ten days to cure. It does not run on a fixed clock: the statute sets no time window within which the second breach must fall, and no cap on the number of notices. Separate and immediate routes exist for noncompliance causing or threatening imminent and irremediable harm, and for criminal or drug-related criminal activity by the resident, a household member, a guest or another person under the resident's control. 41 O.S. § 132 subsections B, C and D
Time to sell or remove the home after termination No state rule No period is set for selling or moving the home after a lot tenancy ends. Oklahoma gives an evicted resident no statutory window to sell the home in place, and no separate time to remove it. What governs instead is the general rule on property left behind: once the resident abandons or surrenders the lot or has been lawfully removed through eviction, the community owner may take possession of personal property left in or around it, and property left with the owner for thirty days or longer is conclusively treated as abandoned. Where the tenancy has ended and the resident stays without consent, the owner may bring an action for possession and damages at once. 41 O.S. § 130 subsections A and B; 41 O.S. § 111 subsection D
Abandoned-home procedure Yes A procedure exists, though it is the general one for property left on rented ground rather than one written for manufactured homes. It reaches the lot because the act defines a dwelling unit to include the site, space or lot leased to the owner of a manufactured or mobile home. Where the resident abandons or surrenders the lot, or has been lawfully removed through eviction, and leaves personal property in or around it, the community owner may take possession. If the owner judges the property to have no apparent value it may be disposed of without accounting; if it has apparent value the owner must send written notice by certified mail to the resident's last-known address stating that the property will be treated as abandoned if it is not removed within the time the notice sets, and property left thirty days or longer is conclusively abandoned. The owner must store the property safely and with reasonable care, may store it on the lot for no more than the fair rental value, and is liable for actual damages for a deliberate or negligent breach of these rules. A separate procedure governs property left when a sole resident dies. The abandonment sections for nonresidential property do not apply, because they exclude agreements governed by the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. 41 O.S. § 130 subsections A, B, C and E; 41 O.S. § 130.1 subsection C; 41 O.S. § 51 paragraph 2
Mediation or dispute-resolution requirement No state rule No mediation or dispute-resolution step is required. Oklahoma runs lot-tenancy disputes through the courts: any right, obligation or remedy under the act is enforceable in any court of appropriate jurisdiction, including small claims court, and may be prosecuted as part of a forcible entry and detainer action. A disputed claim may still be settled by agreement without further consideration if the dispute is in good faith. A bill that would let a court refer eviction cases to mediation was before the Legislature in the 2025 and 2026 sessions and has not become law. 41 O.S. § 105 subsection B; 41 O.S. § 106

E. Closure and change of use

Rule Oklahoma law Source
Notice before closure or change of use No state rule No extended notice is required before a community closes or changes use. Oklahoma has no closure or conversion provision of any kind, so a community owner who wants the land for something else uses the ordinary route of ending each tenancy: at least thirty days' written notice for a month-to-month tenancy, seven days where the tenancy is shorter, and no notice at all where a tenancy for a definite term is simply allowed to expire. 41 O.S. § 111 subsections A, B and C
Variants (by trigger or park size) No state rule There are no closure variants, because there is no closure rule to vary. Nothing in Oklahoma law turns the notice period on the trigger for the closure or on the size of the community; the ordinary notice to end a tenancy is the only period that applies. 41 O.S. § 111 subsections A and B
Relocation payment required No state rule No relocation payment is required when a community closes. Oklahoma has no closure provision, no relocation fund and no obligation on a community owner to help with the cost of moving a home. The rental agreement and the ordinary notice to end a tenancy are all that apply. 41 O.S. § 111 subsection A
Relocation amounts No state rule No relocation amounts are set, because no relocation payment is required. Oklahoma publishes no figure for moving a manufactured home out of a closing community and operates no fund from which one could be paid. 41 O.S. § 111 subsection A
Who pays relocation None required Nobody is made to pay relocation costs. Oklahoma law places no closure duty on a community owner and creates no state fund for residents who have to move a home, so the cost falls where the rental agreement leaves it. 41 O.S. § 111 subsection A; 41 O.S. § 112
Notice to a government body on closure No state rule No government body has to be told that a community is closing. Oklahoma has no closure provision and no agency with a role in lot tenancies, so no notice, filing or registration is triggered by a change of use. Local planning and zoning rules may still apply to whatever replaces the community. 41 O.S. § 111 subsection A

F. Sale of the park

Rule Oklahoma law Source
Residents must be told the park is for sale No state rule Residents do not have to be told that the community is for sale or has been sold. Oklahoma has no sale-notice provision. Two related rules come close without creating a duty to give notice of a sale. First, where the owner's interest ends by sale, assignment, death, bankruptcy, receivership or otherwise, the owner is released from liability only as to events after written notice to the resident of the change, and once that notice arrives the resident pays future rent to the successor. Second, where deposits are transferred to a successor rather than returned, the residents must be told in writing of the transfer and of the transferee's name and address. 41 O.S. § 119 subsection C; 41 O.S. § 115 subsection C
What triggers the notice No state rule Nothing triggers a notice to residents about a sale, because no sale notice is required. Listing, marketing, an offer and a completed sale all pass without a statutory notice to residents. The only written notice the act ties to a change of ownership is the one that shifts liability and rent payments to the new owner, and giving it is the new or old owner's choice rather than a duty. 41 O.S. § 119 subsection C
Residents' purchase right None required Residents have no right to buy the community. Oklahoma law gives no right of first refusal, no opportunity to negotiate and no notice that a sale is being considered, and it recognizes no residents' organization for that purpose. A sale of the land is governed by ordinary property law, and a conveyance is valid without the residents' involvement. 41 O.S. § 119 subsections A and C
Time for residents to respond No state rule No response period exists, because residents have no purchase right to respond to. Oklahoma sets no window for residents to organize, to ask for financial information or to make an offer for the community. 41 O.S. § 119 subsection C
Resident-association threshold No state rule No share of residents unlocks anything. Oklahoma law does not recognize a residents' association for purchase, negotiation or rule-making purposes and sets no membership threshold. 41 O.S. § 119 subsection C
Transfers exempt from the sale rules No state rule No transfers are exempt, because no transfer carries obligations to residents in the first place. Oklahoma has no sale-notice or purchase-right regime and so no list of family, corporate, financing or foreclosure transfers carved out of one. 41 O.S. § 119 subsections A and C
Residents may assign the right to a nonprofit or municipality No state rule Residents cannot pass a purchase right to a nonprofit or a city, because Oklahoma grants no purchase right to pass on. No statute names a community land trust, housing authority or nonprofit as a body that may step into residents' shoes to buy a community. 41 O.S. § 119 subsection C
Penalty for violating the sale rules No state rule No penalty attaches to a community sale, because no sale rules exist to break. The act's general remedy is the one that applies to any breach of it: the right or obligation is enforceable in any court of appropriate jurisdiction, including small claims court, and the prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees. 41 O.S. § 105 subsection B

G. The resident's home

Rule Oklahoma law Source
Right to sell the home in place No state rule No statute protects the right to sell the home where it stands. Oklahoma does not bar a community owner from requiring the home to be moved off the lot when it is sold, and does not require the owner to let a buyer take over the lot. What governs instead is the rental agreement, together with a long-standing rule in the general leasing chapter that a tenant holding for a term of two years or less, at will or by sufferance may not assign or transfer the term or any part of it without the landlord's written assent, on pain of the landlord reentering after ten days' notice to quit. 41 O.S. § 10; 41 O.S. § 11
Park may not take a commission on the sale No state rule No statute bars a community owner from taking a commission on the sale of a resident's home. The related rule is a licensing one rather than a limit on the fee: a person operating a mobile or manufactured home community who sells, offers to sell or negotiates the sale or exchange of homes for a commission or for profit is a restricted manufactured home park dealer and must be licensed, and every home sold under that license must be located in the licensed community and ready for occupancy. 47 O.S. § 581 paragraph 14; 41 O.S. § 113 subsection A
Park may screen the buyer No state rule No statute either grants or limits a community owner's right to screen the buyer of a resident's home. Oklahoma has no provision on approving a purchaser for a lot tenancy. In practice the buyer needs a new agreement with the owner, because the general leasing chapter bars a tenant holding for two years or less, at will or by sufferance from assigning the term without the landlord's written assent. 41 O.S. § 10; 41 O.S. § 117 subsection B
Buyer-approval standard and deadline No state rule No standard or deadline governs the decision on a buyer. Because Oklahoma sets no approval process, there is no requirement that consent be withheld only on reasonable grounds and no time by which the community owner must answer. A refusal to accept the buyer as a new resident is governed by the rental agreement and by fair-housing law. 41 O.S. § 10
Home may not be rejected for age, size or style alone No state rule Nothing stops a community from turning a home away for its age, size or style. Oklahoma has no rule on the condition or vintage of a home entering or staying in a community, and no rule barring a requirement that a home be removed when it is sold. Community rules may set standards, subject only to the general test that a rule be reasonable, evenly applied and known to the resident. 41 O.S. § 126 subsection A
Park may require repairs before sale No state rule No statute addresses repairs demanded before a home is sold. Oklahoma neither permits nor forbids a community owner from requiring work on the home or the lot as a condition of a sale. The act's own repair duties run the other way, obliging the owner to keep the premises fit and habitable, and allowing the parties to agree in a separate conspicuous writing that the resident will carry out specified repairs or maintenance. 41 O.S. § 118 subsections A and B
Right to post a For Sale sign No state rule No statute protects a For Sale sign on a home or lot. Oklahoma has no sign provision for manufactured-home communities, so signs are governed by the community's rules and by local sign ordinances. A community rule restricting signs is enforceable if it meets the act's general test for rules. 41 O.S. § 126 subsection A

H. The eight federal lender protections — which ones Oklahoma law already requires

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require eight tenant site lease protections in every manufactured housing community loan they buy. Where state law already requires a protection of every park, a resident has it whether or not the park has agency financing. Oklahoma law requires 0 of 8. All 50 states are compared in our research study, including the 2018 federal survey baseline.

ProtectionOklahoma lawBasis
One-year renewable lease term unless there is good cause for non-renewal Not required Neither limb is met. No statute requires a one-year lot lease to be offered — the default where no definite written term is fixed is month-to-month — and no cause is needed to end the tenancy, which either party may end on thirty days' written notice under 41 O.S. § 111(A). (41 O.S. § 110; 41 O.S. § 111)
30-day written notice of rent increases Not required No statute requires notice of a lot-rent increase. The only thirty-day rule is the notice that ends a month-to-month tenancy under 41 O.S. § 111(A), which a community owner uses to impose new terms but which is not itself a rent-increase notice, and rent is otherwise whatever the rental agreement provides. (41 O.S. § 111; 41 O.S. § 109)
5-day grace period for rent payments and the right to cure defaults on rent payments Partly The cure limb is met and the grace limb is not. A resident may keep the lot tenancy by paying within five days after written notice of the owner's demand under 41 O.S. § 131(B), but Oklahoma sets no period after the due date in which a late fee may not be charged, and the owner may sue for the rent as soon as it is unpaid. (41 O.S. § 131)
Right to sell the manufactured home without having to first relocate it out of the community Not required No statute bars a community owner from requiring the home to be moved off the lot when it is sold. Lot tenancies follow the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, which says nothing about selling a home in place, and the general leasing chapter bars a short-term tenant from assigning the tenancy without the landlord's written assent. (41 O.S. § 10; 41 O.S. § 103)
Right to sell the manufactured home in place within 30 days after eviction by the community owner Not required No statute gives an evicted resident time to sell the home in place. Once the tenancy ends the community owner may bring an action for possession at once, and property left in or around the lot falls under the general abandoned-property rule in 41 O.S. § 130. (41 O.S. § 111; 41 O.S. § 130)
Right to sublease or assign the pad site lease for the unexpired term to the new buyer of the home without unreasonable restraint Not required No statute lets a buyer take over the lot tenancy. The general leasing chapter runs the other way, barring a tenant holding for two years or less, at will or by sufferance from assigning the term without the landlord's written assent, and setting no standard of reasonableness on that consent. (41 O.S. § 10; 41 O.S. § 11)
Right to post "For Sale" signs that comply with the community's rules Not required No statute protects a For Sale sign. Lot tenancies follow the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, which has no sign provision, so a community rule limiting signs stands if it meets the act's general test for rules in 41 O.S. § 126(A). (41 O.S. § 126)
Right to receive at least 60 days' notice of a planned sale or closure of the community Not required Neither limb is met. Oklahoma requires no notice to residents of a sale of the community and has no closure or change-of-use provision at all, so the only notice before a community empties is the thirty days that ends a month-to-month tenancy. (41 O.S. § 119; 41 O.S. § 111)
