Okla. Admin. Code § 330 § 330:70-7-3
Consent and fee
Operative Text
The Owner must file a written request for a criminal background search. The request must be accompanied by a consent form executed by the tenant or applicant and the fee set forth in 330:70-9-1 of these Rules. A written request must be submitted for each tenant or applicant.
Under Okla. Admin. Code § 330:70-7-3, a property owner who wishes to conduct a criminal background search on a tenant or applicant must do so through a formal written request process. Each request must include a signed consent form from the individual being screened and must be accompanied by the applicable fee established in § 330:70-9-1. A separate written request is required for every individual tenant or applicant — a single request cannot cover multiple people.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 330:70-7-3, compliant operators submit a distinct written request for each tenant or applicant they wish to screen through a criminal background search. Each submission includes a properly executed consent form signed by that individual, along with the fee specified in § 330:70-9-1. Maintaining organized records of these requests, consent forms, and fee payments is a common practice among operators who routinely conduct background screening.

Section 330:70-7-3 establishes that a landlord or property owner must obtain your written consent before submitting a criminal background search request on your behalf. This means you have the right to be asked to sign a consent form before any such search is initiated, and a separate request must be filed specifically for you. Tenants who believe a background search was conducted without proper consent under § 330:70-7-3 may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service to understand available options.
