An Oklahoma Standard Residential Lease Agreement is a property management form that assigns rules and conditions to rent an apartment or home for one (1) year. The contract refers to the renter as the “lessee” and the landlord as the “lessor.” Before signing, the parties discuss each document section to ensure the lessee(s) fully understand and agree with each condition. They also negotiate rent prices, the agreement’s terms, and utility details if necessary.
