When must a landlord in Oklahoma return the security deposit?

Deadline: 45 days after a written demand

Return security deposit with itemized statement within 45 days of written demand. Oklahoma law (41 O.S. 115) requires returning the deposit balance within 45 days after the tenancy ends, possession is delivered, and the tenant makes a written demand, with any deductions itemized in a written statement mailed with return receipt requested or delivered to the tenant in person, and if the landlord does not comply, the tenant may recover the deposit.
