My girlfriend is going to move in with me, but we need approval from the
landlord. I live in a mobile home park in Oklahoma, rent the lot, own the
home. Her name has to be added to the lease. My question is this. The
landlord needs all kinds of personal info, credit check (no more than nine
accounts 90 days past due, no more than 4 accounts 120 days past due, no
more than $4K total owed debt), background check (past few years of rental
history, evictions, notices from neighbors for disturbance, violations of
lease, late rent payments) & then the felony background check (about the
only one I can see being needed since MY name is on the lease & I own the
home...so I should be responsible for all within my home). If the landlord
tries to have any problems with this, what can be done (besides move or go
against her will & do this anyway)? What laws allow for discrimination for
someone's credit history when they are not renting or making any payments to
the landlord? Again this is Oklahoma, and ALL bills are in MY name only.

I don't anything about OK Law, but I VERY SERIOUSLY DOUBT that your
LandLord can Lawfully Extract the Aforementioned Personal Info from your GF
as a Pre-Condition to your GF Cohabiting with you...
The Tenancy to be created is with *you*, in a Dwelling *Owned By You*,
NOT the LandLord... *You* only lease *Dirt* upon which *Your* Dwelling Place
is situated... *You* are the Person responsible for Making Timely Dirt Lease
Payments, and it would seem likely that OK Landlords can neither require
Additional Responsible Parties to be added to a Pre-Existing Dirt Lease, or
prohibit a Dwelling Place from Being Occupied by Two... Three... or Four
Unrelated Persons... maybe LandLords *can* Prohibit cohabitation by 5 or
more Unrelated, but again, I don't know anything about OK Tenant/LandLord
Law...
VERY Good Idea to consult an OK Lawyer or OK Legal Aid Society...

It's your home. You choose whom can live with you. Not the landlord.
In most places, if you own the home and someone moves in, they only want to
know in case of emergencies.
The landlord has no legal right to do all that crap because it is YOUR
home, not his.
If it were an apartment, then he would have.
Just tell your friend to move in and if the landlord has any whining to do
about it, let him take you to court.
If I had my way, every landlord would have to take the same tests and be
licensed in the same manner as a real estate agent.

I could see nothing in the Oklahoma law which specifically spells out what a
landlord can not do in this situation, since most tenant laws are geared to
monthly renters.
However, as you are probably paying lot rent by the month, some of those
laws do cover your situation.
If someone moved in with you and the landlord was not aware of it, then
evicted you over the matter, you could sue him for violating the law,
probably. But not without legal advice first.
Read your lease agreement thoroughly. If there is nothing in it mentioning
live-in guests, he has nothing to stand on and can't force you to comply.
As I own a mobile home myself, I am in control of who comes and goes for how
long. Not the landlord.
His interest is in the property.

Yeah, great advice from a loser.

Yes, you've gibbered this k00kery numerous times. In the unlikely event you
should you ever become a property owner, I'm sure your tune would change.

Your "control" is moot, since the only visitors are debt collectors and law
enforcement, Bullis.

There may be laws in Oklahoma which prevent a landlord from enforcing lease
provisions concerning additional occupants. I don't know anything about any
such laws, so I will answer on assumption that there are none. But don't
trust that assumption. You need to find out by checking with a renter's
rights organization in Oklahoma. They can be found on the internet. And
local librarians can give you information about such organizations.
So, assuming state law doesn't say anything about it, your rights are
determined by your lease. If you signed a lease in which you gave up your
right to have someone move in, then that's the way it is. Naturally, if
there is no such provision in the lease, then you have not given up any
rights and you can have your girlfriend move in. But even if there is no
lease provision concerning this, and you have the right to move your lady
in, the landlord would still have the right to terminate a month-to-month
tenancy, or refuse to renew a lease when it expires.
