Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Oklahoma

First of all, I am not sure what the facts are, but in case they are facts, I must be frank and honest to you. It is apparent that you have made several bad decisions from the start: (1) If the two individuals are drifters, this should become your red flag, 2. After threats were made and your gun stolen, you should have immediately filed a police report. Even if he is your brother. This especially applies if he has demonstrated violence.in the past and confiscated your weapon. This weapon have been used in a crime. If he had used the gun, you would have been a suspect in that crime. If you had established these police reports in the beginning you would not be faced with suspiciousz. Instead a history would have been created. But, you gave them a helping hand by leaving this opportunity wide open to the pair.

Even, if the police did not react to the situation, these reports would have established a pattern of behavior that could be used to support otherr incidents and support your restraining order, (3) You must understand this: inspite of the fact a person is a relative, it is the other persons choices, good or bad, that may or may not estabilish your relationships. The choices of an determines the content of a person's character, not blood, (4) Whether a person has the rights to a premises should depend on whether or not they are listed on the lease agreement. The law allows up to two weeks stay in determining the individual to be a legal tenant. Perhaps this could have been taken in consideration with the police. However, in the absence of a police report outlining the facts, there is very little the police can do.

Finally, whoever told you that you could not change locks is incorrect. If you feel, or know, that your life is in danger, you should give a letter to the landlord or owner outlining why had to make this decision to change the locks. The issue is to whether YOU feel you are in danger have this need to feel protected. Secondly, you cant ask your mother to complete a notorized affidavit statement establishing the facts about the gun and to bear witness regarding the confiscation and use of the gun. This affidavit should include the time and dates the gun was removed and was retrieved from your brother. Then, you must file a police report regarding the thiefs and other items removed from the dwelling and attach this statement from your mother. You must establish these police reports and keep track of them. It would help to inform the landlord why you are making this decision, which is to start documenting this behavior and to pestablish a pattern of behavior, with or without, actual intervention by the police.

Other options can include the legal eviction. This is due to the length of their stay. Your reports will also support your protection order. In the meantime, try to avoid any other interaction or conversations with this pair. This interaction will create an opportunity to do or say something that can be used against you. You do not have to discuss anything with anyone while you exercising your rights.

Now that their belonging have been removed, they (your brother and girlfriend) ivoluntarily complied to the request to vacate. As such, they do not have the right to go as they please and it is never to late to correct bad decisions. I hope this helps and forgive me for the long response.
