Okla. Stat. tit. 41 § 103
Application of Act
Operative Text
A. Except as otherwise provided in this act, this act applies to, regulates and determines rights, obligations and remedies under a rental agreement, wherever made, for a dwelling unit located within this state. B. Any agreement, whether written or oral, shall be unenforceable insofar as said agreement, or any provision thereof, conflicts with any provision of this act.
Oklahoma Statutes Title 41, Section 103 establishes that the state's residential landlord-tenant law governs all rental agreements for dwelling units physically located in Oklahoma, regardless of where those agreements were signed or formed. Any rental agreement—written or oral—that contains terms conflicting with the Act is unenforceable to the extent of that conflict. The rest of a conflicting agreement may still stand; only the offending provisions are rendered void.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 41 O.S. § 103, property owners and managers operating rental units in Oklahoma are subject to the state's landlord-tenant Act no matter where a lease was drafted or executed. Compliant operators generally review their lease agreements to ensure no clause attempts to waive or override tenant protections established by the Act, since such clauses would be unenforceable anyway. Keeping lease terms aligned with the Act helps avoid disputes over which provisions actually govern the tenancy.

41 O.S. § 103 means that tenants renting a dwelling unit in Oklahoma are protected by the state's landlord-tenant Act even if a lease was signed elsewhere or contains language that tries to strip away those protections. If a lease clause conflicts with the Act, that clause is unenforceable, and tenants may be able to raise that unenforceability as a defense in a dispute. Tenants who believe a lease provision violates the Act may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general information about their options.
