Evictions beginning to climb in Oklahoma
SUMMARY: Evictions are rising in Oklahoma, particularly as the holiday season approaches. With over 4,000 evictions last month and projections for increased numbers in November, the situation is concerning. Individuals like Lindsey Lewis, evicted after miscommunication regarding fees, exemplify the growing issue. Oklahoma County has the highest eviction rate in the state. Experts warn that the expiration of pandemic relief funds could lead to a significant spike in evictions, affecting those already struggling. They suggest updating the state’s Landlord-Tenant Act to break the cycle of homelessness and advise reaching out to nonprofits for assistance when facing eviction.

Helping first responders get to an emergency efficiently
SUMMARY: Oklahoma City police have introduced a new online awareness notification form to help first responders better prepare for emergencies. The form allows residents to share important details about medical conditions or special needs, such as hearing or vision impairments, mobility challenges, or sensitivities to light and sound. This information helps officers respond safely and appropriately, like avoiding sirens or knowing how to access difficult properties. The details are reviewed and added to the police database, assisting responders during 9-1-1 calls. Each form is valid for one year and requires annual updates.

Women spends thousands on new bathtub, still doesn’t have it months later
SUMMARY: An Oklahoma woman, Janice Brule, paid \$3,600 to a contractor for a bathtub renovation but hasn’t received the completed work months later. After paying in June, communication with the contractor, J Revival Renovations, ceased by early July. Janice resorted to hauling water from the kitchen to fill her bathtub for two months. The contractor claims the job was canceled by Janice and denies fault, saying he planned to deliver materials multiple times but faced excuses and no access. Janice, a retired special education teacher on a fixed income, cannot afford another contractor and remains skeptical about the situation.
