Oklahoma Security Deposit Calculator (2026)
Enter your rent and move-out date to see the most a Oklahoma landlord can charge and the exact date your deposit is due back — no statutory cap here, returned 45 days after three things happen: the tenancy ends, you hand back possession, and you make a written demand after the termination of the tenancy, delivery of possession, and written demand by the tenant, whichever is last; if you never make a written demand within six months after the tenancy ends, the deposit reverts to the landlord.

How Oklahoma security deposits work
Oklahoma law puts your security deposit in a protected place: the landlord must keep it in an escrow account set up for you, held inside Oklahoma at a federally insured bank or credit union (Okla. Stat. tit. 41, §115). Getting it back turns on one step many tenants miss. The 45-day return clock does not start until you send the landlord a written demand for the deposit, on top of ending the tenancy and handing back possession. That written demand carries a hard deadline of its own: if you do not make it within six months after the tenancy ends, the deposit reverts to the landlord and your claim is gone. When the landlord keeps any part of the deposit, they must give you a written, itemized statement of the rent and damages charged. There is no statutory cap on the amount, and the balance comes back without interest.
