Oklahoma Administrative Code § 330:60-1-7 establishes that anyone involved in a housing development receiving Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency (OHFA) funding — including applicants, owners, development teams, and their affiliates — must follow all applicable federal, state, and local laws. This includes fair housing and civil rights requirements that prohibit discriminatory treatment in leasing, occupancy, and employment decisions. OHFA funding awards are conditioned on this ongoing compliance, and all parties must also be in good standing under any other OHFA programs they participate in.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 330:60-1-7, property owners and development teams receiving OHFA awards are expected to maintain active compliance with fair housing laws, civil rights statutes, and the Oklahoma Landlord Tenant Act throughout the life of the regulatory agreement. Compliant operators typically document their nondiscrimination policies in leasing and employment practices and ensure that all affiliates and team members are in good standing with OHFA programs. Owners are generally required to formalize these commitments in a regulatory agreement as a condition of receiving and retaining OHFA funding.

Tenants living in OHFA-funded developments benefit from the protections established under § 330:60-1-7, which requires owners to adhere to fair housing and civil rights laws prohibiting discrimination based on characteristics such as race, disability, familial status, and others. If a tenant believes they have experienced discriminatory treatment in leasing or occupancy, general enforcement paths include filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or contacting a local tenant-rights organization for guidance. Tenants may also wish to consult with a housing attorney about whether a violation of these requirements could be raised as a defense or basis for a complaint in their situation.
