The "Anti-Fungi Act of 2025" amends existing landlord and tenant laws in Oklahoma, specifically 41 O.S. 2021, Section 118. The bill mandates that landlords must make repairs in a timely manner and specifically addresses the treatment of mold in rental properties. If mold is reported, landlords are required to initiate treatment within three business days and complete it within seven business days. Additionally, the bill introduces penalties for landlords who fail to comply with these mold treatment requirements, including covering tenant medical bills related to mold exposure and imposing fines up to $1,000.
The legislation also updates the language regarding the responsibilities of landlords, replacing gender-specific terms with neutral language. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a safe and habitable living environment for tenants, while also ensuring that landlords are held accountable for their obligations. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
