Auto Renewing Lease in Oklahoma

[chriscook]

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Oklahoma. I want to know if it is legal to include an auto renewal in a lease that allows for the lease to auto renew for an additional year at the end of the lease.

Thank you for your time,
Chris

As long as there's an opportunity to give notice to avoid the automatic renewal, I have not seen a prohibition against an automatic renewal clause in any state. If you're asking as a landlord, I suggest that you find a standard form lease for your state that includes the language you want, as you want to avoid writing a clause that's too vague or ambiguous to be enforceable. If you're asking as a tenant, how much notice were you expected to give before the end of the lease to avoid the automatic renewal?

Thank you for your response. I was asking as a landlord. I didn't want to put anything in there that would make the lease unenforceable.
