Oklahoma security deposit law: the 45-day deadline and your rights
45 days after the LATER of termination, delivery of possession, AND written demand by the tenant — the clock does not start without a written demand.
What Oklahoma law says
- Return deadline
- 45 days
- Statute
- Okla. Stat. tit. 41, § 115; fees § 105
No civil penalty multiplier: recovery of the deposit and prepaid rent plus prevailing-party attorney fees (41 O.S. § 105; two-way). Willful misappropriation of the escrowed deposit is a CRIME (up to 6 months jail + fine up to twice the amount — fine goes to the state, not the tenant).
