Notice
Oklahoma requires landlords to give tenants at least a 5-day notice to vacate, for non-payment of rent; for commercial leases, more notice can be required if more than three months of rent are unpaid.
To terminate a tenant not under a long-term lease, at least a 30-day notice to vacate is required.
When tenants act out, damage the property, or otherwise violate the lease, different specific times may require as much as 15-days notice to no advance notice.
Included with a QuickEviction , Alexander Davis PLC will determine the notice required for your circumstances and have it served.
Eviction
Oklahoma law specifies Forcible Entry and Detainer actions, FEDs or evictions for short, must be set for hearing within 10 days of filing. FEDs are set on the small claims docket and have different service requirements dependent on the goals of the eviction.
When, where, and for what purpose, you can file to evict your tenant, are the biggest questions. With a QuickEviction Alexander Davis PLC will determine where, when, and how much, to file for, get it filed as quickly as possible, and set it for the earliest docket available.
Most Alexander Davis PLC QuickEviction clients go from past due balances to judgment in less than a week.
Removal
Oklahoma law does not allow self-help by landlords, such as changing locks or otherwise removing tenants, without a voluntary surrender or the restoration of possession. Even if a judgment of possession is given, Oklahoma Law allows at least 48-hours for tenants to vacate.
For the quickest results, your QuickEviction lawyer will discuss the fastest way to legally obtain possession of your property after the hearing. This often will incude obtaining a Writ for the Sheriff’s Office to remove the occupants and confirm you have been restored possession.
