Oklahoma Lessor's Liability for Injury from a Latent Defect is a state law that holds a landlord responsible for injuries that occur on the leased premises due to a defect that existed at the time the tenant took possession of the premises. This type of liability is also known as implied warranty of habitability or implied warranty of fitness for human habitation. The landlord must have either caused the latent defect or had knowledge of the defect but failed to warn the tenant. In this case, the landlord can be held liable for any injury that results from the latent defect even if the landlord was not negligent in any way. There are two types of Oklahoma Lessor's Liability for Injury from a Latent Defect: strict liability and ordinary negligence. Under strict liability, the landlord is liable for any injury caused by the latent defect regardless of fault.

Under ordinary negligence, the landlord must have had knowledge of the defect in order to be held liable. In this case, the landlord must have been negligent in some way in order to be held liable for the injury.
