What is the Tulsa Landlord Tenant Resource Center?
The Tulsa Landlord Tenant Resource Center (LTRC) launched in October 2020 to provide free services in legal information, pro bono referrals, “know your rights” information for both landlords and tenants, and referrals to housing-supportive social services through the UniteUS Network. LTRC is part of Housing Solutions, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making homelessness in Tulsa rare, brief, and non-recurring. The LTRC operates the Social Services HUB (Eviction Diversion Program) at Iron Gate Mon-Thurs from 1-4:30pm (onsite partners: Restore Hope, Community Cares Partners, Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, Financial Empowerment Center, and more).
Data Dashboard
We believe transparent and accessible data is foundational to our work to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring. This dashboard exists to help the community, A Way Home for Tulsa, and all stakeholders understand the state of homeless prevention services offered by the Landlord Tenant Resource Center in the Tulsa City and County area.
While You're Renting
Yes, the landlord must keep the rental property in a fit and habitable (safe and livable) condition.
A landlord must make all repairs necessary to maintain the property in a safe and livable condition.
Only if the tenant or the tenant’s guest caused damage beyond normal wear and tear. Normal wear and tear is property deterioration that occurs from living in the property. For example, carpet wearing out, paint fading, or door handles loosening.
Under certain circumstances, a tenant can repair a rental property and deduct the cost of the repairs from a future rent payment, if they follow certain steps and inform their landlord in writing.
