An Oklahoma standard residential lease agreement is a basic contract between a landlord and tenant outlining the terms and conditions for renting property. This particular agreement outlines the responsibilities of the landlord and tenant(s) for a fixed-term period, usually 1-year. The lease will also provide all of the necessary information pertaining to rules, regulations, and costs of acquisition and maintenance of the unit.
The landlord is recommended, before signing a lease, to elect the tenant to complete a rental application and give their consent to run a credit check.
