The waitlist is just an email to us. No account, no payment.
How it works
- Ask in plain English. "Rent was due on the 1st. What do I send?"
- See what the statute says, with the section cited and the date we last checked it.
- Get practical next steps, as a checklist: service method, deadlines to calendar, records to keep.
- Review a draft, such as a past-due rent demand or deposit itemization, marked DRAFT for you (and your attorney) to check before use.
Example: "How long do I have to return a security deposit in Oklahoma?"
45 days, but the clock starts only after the tenancy ends, the tenant returns possession, and the tenant makes a written demand. Itemize deductions in writing and deliver by return-receipt mail or in person. Deposits must be held in an Oklahoma escrow account.

State-specific
Generic landlord advice often borrows another state's rules. RentStatute answers for your state's statutes.
Built by a landlord
Started by John Ogorzalek of 5 Dogs Properties, an eastern Oklahoma operator, from the questions we hit running rentals.
You stay in control
Drafts only. Nothing goes to a tenant until you've reviewed it. Uncertain cases get a plain "talk to an attorney."

FAQ
Is this legal advice?
No. RentStatute is informational only. It explains what statutes say and suggests practical steps. It doesn't apply the law to your specific situation, predict outcomes, or replace an attorney. For contested evictions, fair housing questions, or anything high-stakes, talk to a licensed attorney in your state.
Is RentStatute a law firm?
No. RentStatute isn't a law firm, doesn't represent anyone, and using it doesn't create an attorney-client relationship.
Can I send the draft notices as-is?
Treat every template as a draft to review. Check the facts, dates, amounts and service method, and have an attorney review it if you're unsure. Laws change, and your lease and local rules matter too.
How current is the information?
Each answer shows the statute section and the date we last checked it against official sources. Always confirm the current version before acting. Legislatures amend these laws.
Who is it for?
Small, mostly self-managing landlords (roughly 1–50 units) who want to get the process right without calling a lawyer for every routine question.
What does it cost?
Nothing during the private test. Pricing isn't set. Waitlist members will hear about it first, and joining doesn't commit you to anything.
Does it help with lockouts or shutting off utilities?
No. Self-help evictions are illegal in many states, including Oklahoma (41 O.S. §123). RentStatute points you to the lawful court process instead.
What happens to my waitlist email?
We use it only to contact you about RentStatute. We don't sell it.
Informational only, not legal advice. Statute summaries may be incomplete or out of date. Verify current law and consult a licensed attorney in your state before acting.
