Norman Landlord-Tenant Rules
Norman adds local rules on top of Oklahoma landlord-tenant law. Here is what is different, with the city code or agency page behind each rule.
| Habitability & code-enforcement complaint line | Norman has adopted the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) in Chapter 16 of its Code of Ordinances, and the Planning Department's Code Compliance division enforces it for both the interior and exterior of structures. For an interior complaint, the inspector sets up an appointment with the occupant (tenant) to inspect, then sends the owner a list of required repairs and a reasonable deadline; charges may be filed if repairs are not made. If an owner refuses to schedule a required inspection after notice, charges may be filed. Exterior repairs generally get 60-90 days. Only visible mold is an IPMC violation. File complaints at 405-366-5332, codecomplaints@normanok.gov, or the online portal. |
