Evictions are governed by Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1923.
Landlords must strictly comply with all statutory requirements for the Court to grant a Writ of Restitution ordering the tenant to move out by a specific date.
Ohio Revised Code Chapter 5321 confers rights and obligations on each party to a rental agreement. The Court strongly recommends that both the landlord and tenant consult an attorney to ensure that their rights are protected.
