Your consumer rights in Oklahoma
What Oklahoma and federal law say about getting a security deposit back, refunds and cancelling subscriptions, with the law cited and a sample letter for each.
Security deposits
45 days. Under Oklahoma Statutes, Title 41, § 115, a landlord must return the balance of the security deposit, with a written itemized statement of any amounts kept for rent or damages within 45 days. The clock starts when you move out and hand back possession of the unit.
Refunds
If a company won't refund you, send a written demand with a clear deadline. If you paid by credit card, you may also be able to dispute the charge: Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, a billing-error dispute must reach the card issuer in writing within 60 days after the first statement showing the charge.
Subscriptions
Oklahoma has no automatic-renewal statute. For subscriptions sold online, the federal Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act requires a simple way to stop recurring charges, and Oklahoma's general consumer protection law applies.
