We can't find liability insurance for the place because there are farm animals on the property. Now they have allowed 2 other people to live there. The home is substandard, to say the least. How do we protect ourselves in case of an injury/claim?

Sorry, but in my opinion your mother doesn't have much of a case, and you are unlikely to find an attorney willing to take the case on a pro se basis (much less as a class action; class actions are much more complex and this fact pattern doesn't seem to merit a class action in any event)....

If your landlord sells the property you are renting, you are still bound by the lease and the new owner is responsible for the landlord's obligations on the lease. There are some details about required written notification. See Title 41, section 119(C) of the Oklahoma statutes.

What you propose is a complex matter. There is more than one way to accomplish your goal as I understand it. Consequently, there is no simple form to fill out or list of contract terms you should draft on your own. You should consult with an attorney.
Landlord over 1.7 months late in delivery of possession.
answered on Nov 21, 2013
Ordinarily, the landlord must deliver physical possession at the beginning of the lease period and is liable for damages if he fails to do so.

It depends on what was in your lease. Leases often specify certain non-refundable fees for tenant changeover, like painting or carpet cleaning.
Her name is not on the title of the mobile home nor on the lease we have with our father. We have informed her she is not welcomed on the property. She likes to sue people. We have required him to provide liability and renter's insurance. Should we have him add us as a rider for the insurance?

You should notify the wife in writing that she is not to come onto your property. You should send the notification in a manner that requires her to sign for it and you should have witnesses to the contents of the notice and to your having sent it. You may be able to get on your father's... View More

Under Oklahoma law, landlords have a duty to maintain leased premises in a reasonably safe condition. If the place is not "unsafe," it may still be unsuitable for human residence, and the standard is ordinarily the local housing code. If the home is either unsafe or in violation of... View More

In Oklahoma, you can ordinarily terminate a one year lease with three month's notice. See title 41, Section 5. Even so, you should consult with an attorney before attempting early termination of any contract.

That depends on the terms of your lease concerning deposit refund. It can't hurt to ask them why they did not give you a full reason. If they won't tell you or if you are not satisfied with the answer they give you, you should consult with an attorney.

Nobody can promise what will happen in court. However, if your lease is clear about how much you must pay and your paperwork is clear showing you overpaid, then you should consider a lawsuit.
