Leases/Rental Agreements
(Sec. 1923, Ohio Revised Code)
Leases are important; without it, tenancy can be terminated or the rent increased by the landlord after the following is delivered:
- A 7-day notice if renting by the week
- A 30-day notice if renting by the month
The notice must be received prior to the "periodic rental date" which is usually the day rent is due.
Remember:
- Read the lease.
- Know what it says.
- If in doubt, call an attorney.
- Rights are protected even if there is no formal, written lease. The Ohio Revised Code is still in effect (Sec. 5321.17, Ohio Revised Code).
