Neither the Applicant, the Owners(s), the Development Team nor the Affiliates of each shall discriminate on the basis of race, creed, religion, national origin, ethnic background, age, sex, familial status, or disability in the lease, use or occupancy of the Development or in connection with the employment or application for employment of Persons for the operation and/or management of any Development.

(b) Any issuance of MF Bonds by OHFA is subject to compliance with all applicable federal and State laws and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and all local ordinances, rules and regulations applicable to the Development, its financing, or any portion or aspect thereof.

Oklahoma Administrative Code § 330:30-2-11 establishes a broad compliance framework for housing developments that involve the Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency (OHFA). The rule requires applicants, owners, development teams, and their affiliates to follow all applicable federal, state, and local laws—including fair housing and civil rights statutes—and prohibits discrimination in leasing, occupancy, and employment on the basis of protected characteristics such as race, religion, sex, disability, and familial status. Any issuance of multifamily bonds through OHFA is also conditioned on this full legal compliance, and all participating parties must maintain good standing across any OHFA programs in which they are involved.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 330:30-2-11, property owners and development teams participating in OHFA programs are generally expected to maintain documented compliance with federal fair housing laws, the Oklahoma Landlord Tenant Act, and applicable civil rights statutes throughout the life of the regulatory agreement. Compliant operators typically ensure that leasing, occupancy, and employment practices are free from discrimination based on any protected characteristic named in the provision, and that all affiliates and team members are in good standing with OHFA. Owners are also required to covenant compliance with the Fair Housing Act in their regulatory agreement for the full period committed to in their application.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section § 330:30-2-11 reflects protections that tenants in OHFA-assisted developments may be able to rely on, including the right to be free from discrimination in leasing and occupancy based on race, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, familial status, and other protected characteristics. Tenants who believe these protections have been violated may have options such as filing a complaint with a fair housing agency, contacting the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization for information about available remedies. Consulting with a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider can help clarify which enforcement paths may be available under this provision.
