Okla. Stat. tit. 60, §§ 44–47 § 47
Three Days' Notice of Re-entry
Operative Text
Whenever the right of reentry is given to a grantor or lessor in any grant or lease, or otherwise, such reentry may be made at any time after the right has accrued upon three (3) days' previous written notice of intention to reenter, served in the mode prescribed by Section 6619.
Under Oklahoma law at 60 O.S. § 47, when a deed, lease, or other agreement grants a landlord or grantor the right to reclaim possession of property, that right cannot be exercised immediately upon accrual. Instead, the party seeking reentry must first provide at least three days' written notice of their intention to reenter, delivered in the manner specified by Section 6619. This notice requirement acts as a procedural prerequisite before any lawful reentry can occur.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under 60 O.S. § 47, a landlord or grantor whose lease or grant includes a reentry clause must serve a written notice of intent to reenter at least three days before actually reclaiming the property. Compliant operators ensure this notice is delivered in the specific manner prescribed by Section 6619, and they document that service carefully. Attempting to reenter without completing this notice process would not satisfy the statutory requirement, regardless of whether the underlying right to reenter has already accrued.

Oklahoma's 60 O.S. § 47 establishes that a landlord or grantor must give at least three days' written notice—served in the manner required by Section 6619—before exercising any contractual or legal right of reentry. If a landlord attempts to reenter without providing this notice, a tenant may have grounds to raise the procedural deficiency as a defense in any related legal proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid offices can help tenants understand how this notice requirement applies to their circumstances.
