Oklahoma Tenant/Landlord Law re: Habitability

[Bob Foglia]

I find myself in a bit of a dilemma. My tenants had to be out of their home for almost 2 weeks due to no negligence of their own or mine (sewer main collapsed).  Unfortunately, insurance did not cover it so it came out of my pocket as did the professional cleanup to get the house back order.

Now I get a "bill" from the tenants for everything including staying in the most expensive suites in the area, mileage to and from their relatives when they stayed there, time for their inconvenience, etc, etc, etc... To the tune of over three times what the rent would have been for the corresponding time.

My question: It is my understanding is that I legally owe them relief from the rent for the days they were unable to occupy the residence. Is that correct? I actually offered to also give them some money for the cleaning they did, but I was told even that wasn't necessary. I do still plan to do that... But I'm just not clear what my obligations are and what just constitutes me helping them out. 

Thank you for any input you may have.
