Oklahoma had more than 45,000 evictions filed in each of the past four years, which critics blame on the weakness of the state’s Landlord-Tenant Act.

Nearly a decade later, eviction rates have risen across the state and country, but Tulsa has managed to reduce its rates to lower than those of Oklahoma City, thanks in part to the Landlord Tenant Resource Center, lawyers said.

In Oklahoma City, nearly $44,000 was spent on the boulders underneath the Boulevard bridge to discourage further encampment.

Oklahoma’s eviction laws are among the most lenient in the nation.
