Is a seasonal guest a tenant in Oklahoma?

The Act excludes 'transient occupancy in a hotel, motel or other similar lodging regardless of the length of the stay' but never mentions RVs or campgrounds, and sets no day threshold. Whether a seasonal RV site counts as 'similar lodging' is not settled by statute, so a camper living on site under a monthly or annual agreement may be treated as a tenant.

What that means for notices and removal

Not specifically addressed. If the Act applies: 5-day written notice for nonpayment (41 O.S. § 131), 10-day notice to cure / 15-day termination for other breaches (§ 132), 30-day notice to end a month-to-month tenancy (§ 111), then a forcible entry and detainer action.

Sub-metering electricity to RV sites in Oklahoma

Corporation Commission rules bar a utility from knowingly furnishing electricity under a retail tariff for resale except under an approved tariff or special contract (OAC 165:35-13-1), and utilities must report customers found reselling. Many Oklahoma utility tariffs allow a landlord/park to pass through metered cost to occupants without profit, but that is tariff-specific: get your utility's written OK and bill at cost.

Sales and lodging tax on seasonal sites in Oklahoma

Oklahoma sales tax applies to the 'service of furnishing rooms by hotel, apartment hotel, public rooming house, motel, public lodging house or tourist camp' (68 O.S. § 1354(A)(6)), so campground/tourist-camp site fees are generally taxable. A long-term/permanent-resident exemption for stays of 30+ days could not be verified from an official source; confirm with the Oklahoma Tax Commission.

Cite: 68 O.S. § 1354(A)(6)

Signing agreements online in Oklahoma

Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA). Electronic signatures are valid for seasonal site agreements when the guest agrees to sign electronically, intends to sign, and the record is kept in a form that can be reproduced and shown not to have changed. Seasonal Sites records the signer’s typed name, email, time, IP address and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the exact text signed, and stores the signed PDF.

Clauses to include in a Oklahoma seasonal agreement

These are added on top of the eleven sections in the free template. Adjust the bracketed parts and have a local attorney read the result.

Recreational use, not a residence"The Site is licensed for recreational use only. The Guest maintains a permanent residence elsewhere at the address above, and the Site is not the Guest’s primary residence. Nothing in this agreement creates a residential tenancy." In this state the line between a recreational guest and a residential tenant is what decides which removal process applies, so say it plainly and keep the guest’s home address on file.
Notice periodMatch the notice periods in your termination section to the ones the state uses (5-day notice appears in the rules summarized above) rather than inventing shorter ones; a shorter contractual notice is not enforceable where the statute sets a floor.
Metered electricity"Electricity is individually metered and billed at the Park’s actual cost per kWh from its utility, with no markup, read on or about the [day] of each month; readings are available to the Guest on request." Keep the utility bills and meter readings for at least three years.
Term length and taxState the exact term dates; a written agreement with a fixed term is usually the evidence a long-stay tax exemption depends on.
Electronic signature consent"The Guest consents to sign this agreement electronically and to receive invoices, receipts and notices by email at the address above." Keep the signer name, email, date/time, IP address and a fingerprint of the signed text.
