In Oklahoma, the 5-day notice to pay or quit gives the tenant 5 days. Paying the full amount inside the period stops the eviction, by statute.
41 Okla. Stat. § 131(B): The agreement ends only if the tenant fails to pay within five days after the written demand, and the demand also counts as the demand for possession. It may be given before or after a suit for the rent is filed.
