Okla. Stat. tit. 41 § 5
Tenancies from Year to Year - 3 Months Notice Prior to Expiration of Year
Operative Text
All tenancies from year to year, may be determined by at least three (3) months' notice, in writing, given to the tenant prior to the expiration of the year.
Oklahoma law under 41 O.S. § 5 governs year-to-year tenancies, which are rental arrangements that renew on an annual basis. Under this provision, a year-to-year tenancy can be ended by providing the tenant with at least three months' written notice before the current lease year expires. Without this advance written notice, the tenancy generally continues into the next annual period.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners managing year-to-year rental agreements in Oklahoma should be aware that 41 O.S. § 5 requires written notice of at least three months before the lease year ends in order to terminate the tenancy. Compliant operators typically track lease anniversary dates carefully and deliver written termination notices well in advance of the three-month deadline. Maintaining documentation of when and how notice was delivered is a common practice for demonstrating compliance.

Under 41 O.S. § 5, tenants in year-to-year arrangements have a right to receive at least three months' written notice before the end of the lease year if the landlord intends to end the tenancy. If proper written notice was not given within that timeframe, the tenancy may be considered to have continued into a new annual term. Tenants who believe this notice requirement was not followed may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid service to understand the options generally available in such situations.
