Tulsa's short-term rental rules apply only to stays under thirty consecutive days; longer rentals fall under the Oklahoma Residential Landlord-Tenant Act rather than Title 22 STR registration.
The Title 22 STR ordinance defines a short-term rental as a dwelling unit rented for fewer than thirty consecutive days. Stays of thirty days or more become tenancies governed by the Oklahoma Residential Landlord-Tenant Act at OK §41-101 et seq., with notice, deposit, and habitability rules. Hosts who pivot to thirty-plus-day corporate or extended-stay rentals avoid hotel tax, STR registration, and occupancy caps but assume landlord obligations including written leases, habitability duties, and proper eviction procedures.
Misclassifying a sub-thirty-day rental as an extended stay to dodge registration is a Title 22 violation. Improperly evicting a thirty-plus-day occupant without using OK §41-101 procedures exposes hosts to wrongful-eviction claims.
