Operative Text
(a) The following are violations of OAHTC Program policies and procedures and these OAHTC Program Rules:(1) The filing of false information in an Application and/or a Development report; (2) Failure of an Applicant or Owner, as the case may be, to satisfy any of the requirements of the Code, applicable State or federal statutes, rules or regulations, these OAHTC Program Rules, or any requirements contained in the AP, or any Commitments made in the Application upon which the award of a TCA was based; (3) Breach of any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants, warranties, or representations of the Owner or Applicant contained in the Regulatory Agreement and/or the Carryover Allocation Agreement or the breach of any terms conditions, obligations or requirements set forth in any Resolution of the Trustees pertaining to the Applicant/Owner or the Development; (4) Notice by OHFA to the Owner that significant corrective actions are necessary to protect the integrity of the Development and that such corrective actions have not been, or cannot be, effected within a reasonable time, in the judgment of OHFA staff; (5) An administrative or judicial determination that the Applicant or Owner has committed fraud, waste, or mismanagement in any current or prior State or federally funded project; (6) From and after the date of the filing of the Application, failure to notify OHFA of any material changes effecting the proposed Development, including, but not limited to, modifications to any representations contained in the Application, any amendments or modifications of the financing plan, syndicators or equity partners or any other Threshold requirement and/or changes in Development Team Members, contractors, property managers, etc. Notification must be filed with OHFA not less than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the proposed change. Approval by the Trustees is required for any changes or amendments involving the ownership or Control of the Development or the Owner after the Application is filed. This would include, but not be limited to, changes or Transfers of the Development, changes or modifications of the ownership or composition of the general partner entity (i.e. addition or removal of members, partners, stockholders, etc.), any addition, substitution, withdrawal or removal of any general partner. Other amendments may be handled administratively by staff, although staff reserves the right to refer any amendments to the Trustees for their consideration; or (b) Failure to follow all required procedures throughout the Allocation process could jeopardize the final Allocation or result in housing Credits being revoked.(1) The following shall not be considered violations of OAHTC Program policies and procedures and these OAHTC Program Rules. The owner of any real property, including any improvements consisting of dwelling units, acquired or improved in connection with an allocation of income tax credits pursuant to the provisions of Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or in connection with an allocation of income tax credits pursuant to the provisions of Section 2357.403 of Title 68 of the Oklahoma Statutes shall have the right to impose conditions in any lease agreement for the occupancy of any dwelling located on real property as described by this section which allow the owner to accept or decline to enter into the lease agreement, or to terminate a previously executed lease agreement based upon the discovery of incomplete or false information, with respect to the prior felony conviction of any person identified as a tenant pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement, including occupants of the dwelling whether or not those occupants formally execute a lease agreement. (2) The owner of real property as described in subsection (c) of this section may either accept or decline to enter into a lease agreement or to terminate a previously executed lease agreement based upon felony convictions, whether pursuant to federal law or the laws of any state or other governmental jurisdiction.
Oklahoma Administrative Code § 330:36-6-1 identifies a range of actions and omissions that constitute violations of the Oklahoma Affordable Housing Tax Credit (OAHTC) Program, including submitting false information, failing to meet program requirements, breaching regulatory agreements, and failing to notify OHFA of material changes at least 60 days in advance. The provision also makes clear that failing to follow proper allocation procedures can result in housing credits being revoked. Separately, the rule specifies that property owners participating in the OAHTC Program are expressly permitted—and it is not considered a program violation—to screen tenants based on prior felony convictions and to accept, decline, or terminate leases on that basis.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 330:36-6-1, compliant OAHTC Program owners and applicants generally maintain accurate records, fulfill all commitments made in their applications, adhere to the terms of their Regulatory Agreements, and provide OHFA with written notice of any material changes to the development at least 60 calendar days before those changes take effect. Changes involving ownership or control of the development require Trustee approval, while other amendments may be handled administratively by OHFA staff. The same section also clarifies that owners may lawfully include lease conditions related to prior felony convictions—accepting, declining, or terminating leases on that basis—without triggering a program violation.

Under § 330:36-6-1, tenants living in properties that receive OAHTC Program tax credits should be aware that property owners in this program are expressly authorized under Oklahoma law to screen applicants and current tenants based on prior felony convictions, including those of all occupants, and to decline or terminate leases accordingly. Tenants who believe a landlord has violated other aspects of the OAHTC Program—such as submitting false information or failing to meet program requirements—may consider contacting the Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency (OHFA), which administers the program and oversees compliance. Tenant-rights organizations can help individuals understand what protections may apply to their situation under this provision and related state or federal law.
