- OH Assist: A landlord may bring an eviction action against a tenant when the tenant has:
1. Violated a condition of a written rental agreement that is not imposed by ORC section 5321.05, or
2. Holding over beyond the term of the rental agreement.
To bring an eviction action, the landlord must first serve the tenant with a 3 Day Notice to vacate. This notice must set forth the reason for the demand to vacate and also notify the tenant that:
"You are being asked to leave the premises. If you do not leave, an eviction may be initiated against you. Please Note: If you are in doubt regarding your legal rights and obligations as a tenant, it is recommended that you seek legal assistance."
The 3 day period, for purposes of this notice, does NOT INCLUDE the day upon which the notice is given or intervening Saturdays, Sunday or holidays. After the 3 days pass, on the following day, the landlord may file the complaint for forcible entry and detainer in an Ohio Municipal Court.
