CBe required by Oklahoma state law

Explanation

Requiring citizenship documents as a condition of tenancy can constitute national origin discrimination if it disproportionately affects persons of certain national origins. Landlords generally must verify legal presence/ability to contract but cannot discriminate based on national origin.
