Landlord entry & access

Except in an emergency or where it is impracticable, an Ohio landlord must give the tenant reasonable notice of the intent to enter and enter only at reasonable times. Twenty-four hours is presumed to be reasonable notice unless shown otherwise (R.C. 5321.04(A)(8)). The landlord may not abuse the right of access.

The tenant, in turn, may not unreasonably withhold consent for the landlord to enter to inspect, make repairs, supply agreed services, or show the unit to prospective buyers, tenants or contractors (R.C. 5321.05).

Ending an Ohio tenancy

Eviction notice — Before filing a forcible entry and detainer action, the landlord must serve a notice to leave the premises at least three days beforehand — by certified mail, in person, or at the tenant’s residence — containing the statutory warning: “You are being asked to leave the premises. If you do not leave, an eviction action may be initiated against you. If you are in doubt regarding your legal rights and obligations as a tenant, it is recommended that you seek legal assistance.” (R.C. 1923.04).
Health and safety breaches — If a tenant fails a statutory duty that materially affects health and safety, the landlord may serve a written notice that the lease will end on a date at least 30 days after receipt unless the tenant remedies it (R.C. 5321.11).
Drug activity — Where the landlord knows or reasonably believes the tenant or household is engaged in drug offenses on the premises, the landlord must terminate on three days’ notice and promptly begin eviction (R.C. 5321.17(C), 5321.04(A)(9)).
Military — Landlords must honor servicemembers’ rights under the federal Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (R.C. 5321.04(A)(10); 50 U.S.C. §3955).
Note — Ohio has no statute letting a domestic-violence survivor end a lease early; any such right must come from the lease itself or federal housing-program rules.
