Okla. Admin. Code § 330 § 330:75-1-9
Compliance requirements
Operative Text
(a) The Applicant, the Development, the Owner(s), Development Team and the Affiliates of each, must comply with all applicable federal, State and local laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, including but not limited to, the Oklahoma Landlord Tenant Act, Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended and Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended. Neither the Applicant, the Owners(s), the Development Team nor the Affiliates of each shall discriminate on the basis of race, creed, religion, national origin, ethnic background, age, sex, familial status, or disability in the lease, use or occupancy of the Development or in connection with the employment or application for employment of Persons for the operation and/or management of any Development. Owners(s) of a Development will be required to covenant and agree in the regulatory agreement to comply fully with the requirements of the Fair Housing Act as it may from time to time be amended, for the time period promised in the Application. (b) Any awards by OHFA are subject to compliance with all applicable federal and State laws and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and all local ordinances, rules and regulations applicable to the Development, its financing, or any portion or aspect thereof. (c) The Applicant and all members of the Development team and the Affiliates of each must be in compliance with, and good standing under, any OHFA program in which any may participate.
Oklahoma Administrative Code § 330:75-1-9 establishes broad compliance obligations for housing developments that receive awards from the Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency (OHFA). The provision requires that applicants, owners, development teams, and their affiliates follow all applicable federal, state, and local laws—including fair housing and civil rights statutes—and prohibits discrimination in leasing, occupancy, and employment on the basis of protected characteristics such as race, religion, sex, disability, and familial status. Any OHFA funding award is conditioned on ongoing compliance with these requirements, and all parties involved must maintain good standing under any OHFA program in which they participate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 330:75-1-9, property owners and development teams receiving OHFA awards are expected to maintain documented compliance with the Fair Housing Act, the Oklahoma Landlord Tenant Act, and applicable civil rights laws throughout the life of the regulatory agreement. Compliant operators typically implement non-discriminatory leasing and employment policies, train staff on fair housing obligations, and ensure that all affiliates and team members remain in good standing with OHFA programs. Owners are also required to covenant these obligations in their regulatory agreement, making compliance a binding contractual condition of the award.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 330:75-1-9 affirms that tenants in OHFA-funded developments are protected against discrimination based on race, creed, religion, national origin, ethnic background, age, sex, familial status, or disability in leasing and occupancy. Tenants who believe these protections have been violated may consider filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, contacting the Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for information about available remedies. Because owners of these developments are bound by a regulatory agreement to uphold Fair Housing Act requirements, a violation may also be relevant to any formal complaint or proceeding involving the development.
