Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Oklahoma

Unsubstantiated damage chagres, & monies for home heating oil
Landlord did not grant requested walk through after vacated premises. Claiming damages to carpet, they are attempting to keep both security deposit and monies paid for heating oil (in ground tank). Landlord provided no proof of pet damage. Verbal report said carpet cleaners used a ''beeping'' device to determine urine in carpet. I shampooed carpet. Am told a tool of this sort can measure only moisture, not urine. Have not received report in writing. Have contacted them by phone. What rights do I have?? After indicating they would release me from lease, they harrassed me to get out. Can I claim necessary breaking of my lease? Do I have a right to reclaim and sell fuel oil (over 600 gallons) I was forced to abandon?

Re: Unsubstantiated damage chagres, & monies for home heating oil

Give the landlord written notice of your demands

(certified mail, return receipt requested).

If the landlord then fails to respond in a satisfactory manner, proceed to file your claim

in small claims court. (The court will determine what rights you may have with respect to the fuel oil.)
