If if you don’t make a timely written demand, the landlord could actually be allowed to keep the deposit!
Pursuant to 41 Okla. Stat. § 115:
“Upon termination of the tenancy, any security deposit held by the landlord may be applied to the payment of accrued rent and the amount of damages which the landlord has suffered by reason of the tenant’s noncompliance with this act and the rental agreement, all as itemized by the landlord in a written statement delivered by mail to be by return receipt requested and to be signed for by any person of statutory service age at such address or in person to the tenant if he can reasonably be found. If the landlord proposes to retain any portion of the security deposit for rent, damages or other legally allowable charges under the provisions of this act or the rental agreement, the landlord shall return the balance of the security deposit without interest to the tenant within forty-five (45) days after the termination of tenancy, delivery of possession and written demand by the tenant…. If the tenant does not make such written demand of such deposit within six (6) months after termination of the tenancy, the deposit reverts to the landlord in consideration of the costs and burden of maintaining the escrow account, and the interest of the tenant in that deposit terminates at that time.”
See 41 Okla. Stat. § 115
The important thing about this statute is that the tenant must make an official written demand for return of the deposit in order to impose a 45 day deadline on the landlord. Amazingly, if the tenant fails to make a written demand within 6 months after the lease ends, then the landlord actually gets to keep the deposit!
So, if the landlord doesn’t return the deposit promptly, it’s critical that the tenant make an official written demand.
This letter is the perfect solution to make an official written demand, with appropriate legal citations, using a quick and easy automated document.

If the property lacks basic utilities or there is an imminent threat to health and safety, then you can likely terminate the lease immediately. If there is a threat to health and safety, but it’s not imminent, then you can likely terminate the lease upon 30 days written notice. When you purchase this letter, you’ll answer a few questions to help you determine whether you can terminate immediately or whether you must way 30 days. You’ll select your preferred date for lease termination, and that date will become part of the letter.
