Not trying to retaliate, just want my home fixed that I work hard and pay to live here
Hello Laura,
In Oklahoma, you have the right to "repair and deduct". This means if your landlord doesn't address the issue:
- You can hire a professional, pay for the repairs, then deduct the cost from your rent.
Remember, keep all documentation of this process.
