Bill > HB1063

This bill, known as the Anti-Fungi Act of 2025, amends existing Oklahoma landlord-tenant law to strengthen requirements for property maintenance and mold remediation. Specifically, the bill requires landlords to make repairs in a timely manner and imposes strict guidelines for addressing mold issues in rental properties. When mold is reported, landlords must begin treatment within three business days and complete the remediation within seven business days. If a landlord fails to comply with these mold treatment requirements, they can be penalized by being required to cover tenant medical bills related to mold-induced health conditions and face a fine of up to $1,000 payable to the affected tenants. The bill also makes some minor linguistic updates to the existing law, such as replacing gendered language like "his" with more neutral terms like "the" when referring to landlords. The new regulations will take effect on November 1, 2025, giving landlords time to prepare for the new requirements. This legislation aims to protect tenants' health and ensure more responsive property maintenance by landlords.
