Okla. Stat. tit. 60, §§ 44–47 § 44
Termination of Estate at Will
Operative Text
A tenancy or other estate at will, however created, may be terminated by the landlord's giving notice to the tenant, in the manner prescribed by the next section, to remove from the premises within a period specified in the notice, of not less than one (1) month except as provided in the chapter on "Landlord and Tenant."
Under Oklahoma law at 60 O.S. § 44, a tenancy at will — regardless of how it was originally established — can be ended by the landlord providing the tenant with a written notice to vacate. That notice must give the tenant at least one full month to leave the premises, unless a different timeframe is specified elsewhere in the Landlord and Tenant chapter. The manner in which the notice must be delivered is governed by the immediately following statutory section.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 60 O.S. § 44, operators managing a month-to-month or other at-will tenancy in Oklahoma generally provide written notice to the tenant at least one month before the required move-out date, delivered in the manner prescribed by the adjacent statutory section. Compliant landlords confirm that no exception in the Landlord and Tenant chapter applies before relying on a shorter notice period. Keeping dated records of how and when notice was served helps document compliance with the statutory requirements.

Oklahoma's 60 O.S. § 44 establishes that a landlord must give at least one month's advance notice before terminating an at-will tenancy, and that notice must be delivered in the legally prescribed manner. If a landlord attempts to remove a tenant without providing adequate notice, the tenant may have grounds to raise the statutory violation as a defense in any eviction proceeding. Tenants who believe proper notice was not given can consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand the options available under Oklahoma law.
