Psychologically Impacted Property (Oklahoma)

In Oklahoma, certain facts are not material facts requiring disclosure: that an occupant is, was, or was suspected of being infected with HIV, AIDS, or a disease unlikely to spread through occupancy, or that the property was or was suspected of being the site of a suicide, homicide, or other felony. However, if a buyer or tenant making a bona fide offer states in writing that such information matters, the licensee must ask the owner and may answer only with the owner's consent, or report that the owner declined.

Exam tip
'Ask in writing, ask the owner, answer only with consent.' No cause of action arises for simply not disclosing these facts.
Example
A buyer's written offer asks whether anyone died violently in the house; the associate asks the owner, who declines, and the associate tells the buyer the owner declined to answer.
