For Property Managers

Property owners and managers subject to an investigation under 25 O.S. § 1506.7 should be aware that the Oklahoma Attorney General holds subpoena power and can compel the disclosure of documents, records, or testimony through legally binding process. Operators who receive such a subpoena are generally expected to respond within the timeframe and scope specified, as non-compliance can lead to district court enforcement proceedings. Consulting qualified legal counsel upon receipt of any subpoena issued under this provision is a common practice among compliant operators.

For Tenants

Under 25 O.S. § 1506.7, the Oklahoma Attorney General can use subpoena authority to gather evidence in support of civil rights investigations, which may include housing-related complaints filed by tenants. This means that when a tenant raises a complaint that triggers an investigation, the Attorney General has tools to compel the production of relevant records or testimony from any party. Tenants who believe their rights have been violated may wish to contact a tenant-rights organization or the Attorney General's office to understand how this investigative authority could apply to their situation.
