Okla. Stat. tit. 25, §§ 1451–1453, 1501–1508 § 1506.3
Remedies Available to the Court
Operative Text
In an action pursuant to Section 1101 et seq. of this title, if the court finds that a discriminatory housing practice has occurred or is about to occur, the court may award to the plaintiff: 1. Actual and punitive damages; 2. Reasonable attorney fees; 3. Court costs; and 4. Subject to Section 1506.4 of this title, any permanent or temporary injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order, including an order enjoining the defendant from engaging in the practice or ordering appropriate affirmative action.
Oklahoma's fair housing law, 25 O.S. § 1506.3, sets out the remedies a court may grant when it finds that a discriminatory housing practice has occurred or is about to occur. If a court makes that finding, it has the authority to award the affected party actual and punitive damages, reasonable attorney fees, and court costs. The court may also issue injunctive relief—such as a restraining order or an order requiring affirmative corrective action—to stop or prevent the discriminatory conduct, subject to the limits in § 1506.4.

Under 25 O.S. § 1506.3, property owners and managers found to have engaged in a discriminatory housing practice face a broad range of court-ordered consequences, including monetary damages that can extend beyond actual losses to punitive amounts, as well as attorney fees and court costs owed to the opposing party. Courts also have authority to issue injunctions that may require specific operational changes or prohibit certain conduct going forward. Operators who maintain documented fair-housing compliance programs, train staff consistently, and apply uniform rental criteria generally demonstrate the kind of good-faith practices that reduce exposure under this provision.
