Stat. tit. 41 § 118 requires landlords to keep the dwelling fit and habitable—making needed repairs, maintaining electrical, plumbing, and heating systems, and supplying running water, hot water, and heat. Under § 121, a tenant may give written notice and, for repairs under $100, repair and deduct from rent after 14 days.
Okla. Stat. tit. 41 § 118(A) requires the landlord to "make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the tenant's dwelling unit and premises in a fit and habitable condition," maintain electrical, plumbing, sanitary, heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning facilities in good working order, and (outside single-family residences) supply running water, reasonable hot water, and reasonable heat. Under § 121(A), if a material noncompliance affecting health or safety is not remedied within 14 days, the tenant may terminate on at least 30 days' notice. Section 121(B) lets a tenant, after 14 days' written notice, repair a health-affecting defect costing less than $100 and deduct the cost; § 121(C) covers loss of essential services like heat or water.
If a landlord fails to maintain habitable conditions, § 121 lets the tenant terminate after a 14-day cure period, repair and deduct costs under $100, or procure essential services and deduct their cost.
