Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the residential Premises described below subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and the Oklahoma Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (41 O.S. § 101 et seq.).

1. Premises

Landlord leases to Tenant the residential property located at:

[[Property Full Street Address]]
[[City]], Oklahoma [[ZIP Code]]

The Premises include: [[Description of dwelling unit, e.g. 3-bedroom single family home / apartment unit #X]]

Included furnishings and appliances: [[List or "As shown on attached Move-In Inventory and Condition Checklist (Exhibit A)"]]

Assigned parking: [[Parking Space(s) Description or "None"]]

Storage: [[Storage Description or "None"]]

The Premises shall be used solely as a private residence by Tenant and the authorized occupants listed in Section 8. No other use is permitted without prior written consent of Landlord.

2. Term

The initial Lease Term begins on [[Lease Start Date]] and ends on [[Lease End Date]], unless sooner terminated or extended as provided herein.

If Tenant remains in possession after the end of the Term without a written extension or renewal, the tenancy shall convert to a month-to-month tenancy subject to all terms of this Lease and requiring thirty (30) days' written notice to terminate by either party as required by 41 O.S. § 111.

If Landlord is unable to deliver possession on the Start Date, Rent shall abate until possession is delivered. If possession is delayed more than [[Delay Cap e.g. seven (7) days]], Tenant may terminate and receive refund of all prepaid amounts.

3. Rent

Tenant shall pay monthly Rent in the amount of $[[Monthly Rent Amount]], due in advance on the [[Due Day e.g. 1st]] day of each month.

Rent is payable to: [[Payable To Name]] at [[Payment Address or Online Portal Link or "mail to address above"]] by [[Accepted Methods: check, money order, electronic funds transfer, etc.]].

If the Term begins on a day other than the first of the month, the first month's Rent shall be prorated on a 30-day basis.

Rent must be paid without deduction, offset, or demand. Acceptance of partial payment or late payment does not waive Landlord's rights or reinstate a tenancy after notice to vacate has been given.

4. Late Fees and Returned Payments

Rent is considered late if not received by Landlord by the [[Grace Period e.g. fifth (5th)]] day after the due date.

If Rent is late, Tenant shall pay a late fee of $[[Late Fee Amount]] or [[Late Fee Percentage or "N/A"]]% of the monthly Rent, whichever is stated.

A fee of $[[Returned Item Fee Amount]] shall be charged for any returned or dishonored payment (check, ACH, etc.).

Late fees must be reasonable under Oklahoma law. Landlord reserves all rights and remedies for non-payment.

5. Security Deposit

Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay a security deposit of $[[Security Deposit Amount]].

Under the Oklahoma Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (41 O.S. § 115), the security deposit for an unfurnished dwelling unit shall not exceed an amount equal to two (2) months' Rent. For furnished units, a higher amount may apply if agreed and reasonable.

The security deposit secures Tenant's faithful performance of the Lease terms. It may be applied by Landlord to remedy Tenant defaults in payment of Rent, repair of damage to the Premises beyond ordinary wear and tear, and cleaning necessary to return the Premises to the condition at move-in (reasonable wear and tear excepted).

Return of Security Deposit:

Landlord shall return the security deposit, together with an itemized written statement of any deductions, to Tenant within forty-five (45) days after termination of the tenancy and Tenant's vacating of the Premises.

If Landlord fails to return the deposit or provide the itemized statement within 45 days, Landlord forfeits the right to make any deductions and may be liable for the full amount of the deposit plus actual damages and penalties as provided by law.

Tenant shall not apply the security deposit as last month's Rent without prior written agreement of Landlord.

A Move-In/Move-Out Inventory and Condition Checklist (Exhibit A) shall be completed and signed by both parties at move-in and move-out.

6. Utilities and Services

Tenant shall be responsible for payment of the following utilities and services: [[List e.g. electricity, gas, water, sewer, trash, internet, cable, or specify "all except" ]]

Landlord shall be responsible for: [[List or "None"]]

The Premises shall be occupied only by Tenant and the following authorized occupants:

[[List all authorized occupants with ages/relationships or "Tenant only"]]

Any guest staying more than [[Guest Limit e.g. fourteen (14) consecutive days]] or more than [[Total Days per Year e.g. thirty (30)]] days in any calendar year without Landlord's prior written consent shall be considered an unauthorized occupant and a material breach of this Lease.
