In plain language

Yes — Oklahoma’s 41 O.S. § 113.2 expressly covers reasonable housing accommodations for assistance animals, which include emotional-support animals, and lets the landlord ask for reliable documentation. It also lets a landlord recover up to $1,000 if a tenant faked the need. A legitimate letter from a licensed provider is what supports the request. This is general information, not legal advice — consult an Oklahoma-licensed attorney about your situation.
