An Oklahoma sublease agreement is a contract under which a tenant rents part or all of their residence to a third party. Instead of reporting directly to the property owner, the new resident must pay their rent directly to the original tenant. The original tenant remains bound to the master lease agreement with the property owner. All parties should carefully review and agree to the terms and conditions of the sublease.

Right to Sublet

Oklahoma law does not specifically address the issue of subletting. The right to sublet is defined by the terms of the original lease. If the tenant wishes to sublet, they should obtain written consent from the property owner using a Landlord Consent Form.

Short-Term (Local Lodgings) Tax

Oklahoma’s lodging tax applies to short-term stays in hotels, motels, and public lodging facilities.[1] Private residential sublease agreements typically do not fall within this definition.
