Navigate Cleveland Rental Laws
3-Day Notice to Leave
The first step in Ohio eviction. You must serve a compliant 3-day notice with specific statutory language before filing in court.
Security Deposit Interest
If you hold a deposit > 1 month rent for 6+ months, you must pay 5% interest per year to the tenant.
Escrow Accounts
Tenants can pay rent into court escrow if repairs aren't made. Avoid this by tracking and resolving maintenance requests promptly.
24-Hour Notice to Enter
Ohio law generally requires reasonable notice (24 hours) before entering a unit, except in emergencies.
Fair Housing Compliance
Strict adherence to Ohio Civil Rights Commission rules is required. Document your screening criteria carefully.
Month-to-Month Termination
Requires 30 days notice prior to the periodic rental date. RentMouse automates these notice timelines.
