Bill > HB3388

This bill aims to protect consumers by making it a deceptive trade practice to advertise a rental property as having "all bills paid" or all utilities included in the rent, and then subsequently charging tenants additional fees for those same bills or utilities after they've signed a lease. The bill defines "bill" or "utility" to include essential services like water, sewer, gas, electricity, and trash. It also clarifies that a "dwelling unit," "rent," and "tenant" will be understood according to existing Oklahoma statutes. If a landlord engages in this practice, they will be subject to the penalties outlined in the Oklahoma Consumer Protection Act, which is a law designed to prevent unfair or fraudulent business practices. This new law is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
