Under Okla. Stat. tit. 41 § 128, an Oklahoma landlord must give the tenant at least one (1) day's notice before entering the dwelling and may enter only at reasonable times. No notice is required in a genuine emergency. The landlord may not abuse the right of access or use entries to harass the tenant.
Okla. Stat. tit. 41 § 128(C) provides: "Except in case of emergency or unless it is impracticable to do so, the landlord shall give the tenant at least one (1) day's notice of his intent to enter and may enter only at reasonable times." Subsection (A) lists permitted purposes—inspections, repairs, decorations, alterations, supplying services, and showing the unit to buyers, lenders, tenants, or contractors—and bars the tenant from unreasonably withholding consent. Under subsection (B), the landlord may enter without notice in an emergency. If a tenant unlawfully refuses access, § 128(E) lets the landlord seek injunctive relief or terminate the rental agreement.
No specific statutory penalty for improper entry, but § 128(C) bars abuse of access or harassment; a tenant facing repeated unlawful entries may pursue remedies such as termination or injunctive relief for the landlord's breach.
