OK SB149

District courts may refer eviction cases to mediation by agreement of the parties at any time while the case is pending

Landlords are prohibited from evicting tenants, raising rent, or reducing services for 180 days after a tenant files a good-faith complaint about habitability issues, reports bed bug infestations, or files complaints with appropriate agencies

Tenants may only invoke the 180-day retaliation protection once per 12-month period, and landlords may still proceed with eviction if they state legitimate grounds in good faith

Landlords who violate retaliation protections are liable for actual damages, punitive damages of $100 to $2,000 per retaliatory act involving fraud or malice, plus court costs and attorney fees

Municipalities with over 100,000 residents must maintain and publish online a list of rental property code violations, including owner names, violation dates, codes violated, and any fines issued
