Oklahoma § 16-54 - Discriminatory restrictive covenants — Filling declaration

§ 16-54. Discriminatory restrictive covenants — Filling declaration

for removal.

A person who owns real property or an interest in real property

for which the title includes a recorded conveyance instrument

containing an illegal discriminatory restrictive covenant pursuant

to the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C., Section 3601 et seq., or another

person with the written and notarized permission of the owner, may

declare that the discriminatory restrictive covenant is illegal and

unenforceable and should be removed. The declaration shall be filed

with the clerk of the county where the property is located.

An illegal discriminatory restrictive covenant is not

enforceable in this state, and all discriminatory restrictive

covenants contained in any real estate conveyance or instrument

recorded in this state are unlawful, are unenforceable, and are

declared null and void. Any discriminatory restrictive covenant

contained in a previously recorded real estate conveyance or

instrument is extinguished and severed from the recorded real estate

conveyance or instrument and the remainder of the title transaction

remains enforceable and effective.
