Room Rental Agreement in Oklahoma

For renting a room in a home, including your own home. Some states treat a renter in the owner's home (a lodger) differently when ending the arrangement — see your state's household rules.

What Oklahoma law says

Renting a room in your own home (lodgers)	Oklahoma defines a 'roomer' or 'boarder' as a tenant occupying a unit that lacks at least one major bathroom or kitchen facility, in a building where those facilities are shared and in which the landlord lives. Roomers and boarders are tenants under the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act; unless a written agreement fixes a definite term, a roomer or boarder paying weekly rent has a week-to-week tenancy, ended with at least 7 days' written notice. Source: 41 O.S. §§ 102(13), 110, 111(B)
Tenancy at will	Any person in possession of real property with the owner's assent is presumed to be a tenant at will unless the contrary is shown; a tenant who stays after a lease of one or more years with the landlord's assent is also a tenant at will. Either the landlord or the tenant may end a tenancy at will (or month-to-month) with written notice at least 30 days before the termination date, counted from service. Source: 41 O.S. §§ 1, 2, 111(A)
