In Ohio, if a tenant violates the terms of their lease agreement or legal responsibilities, the landlord can serve them a 3-Day Notice to Comply or Vacate. This eviction notice gives the tenant 3 judicial days (not counting weekends or legal holidays,) to fix the issue or move out.

The Ohio Civil Rights Commission and the Fair Housing Act protect the tenant from any discrimination from their landlord. Landlords cannot discriminate against any tenant for their race, color, gender identity, nationality, religion, etc.

How Long Does an Eviction Stay on Your Record? An eviction itself doesn't appear on your credit report. However, any unpaid rent and fees could be sent to collections and remain on your credit report for seven years from the original delinquency date.

There is no single, official place to find eviction records in Ohio. Eviction cases usually are filed in the municipal court of the city in which the rental property is located. A person interested in locating eviction records can look in the court's case index in the individual municipal court.

In Ohio, there is no state law that gives a tenant the right to have their eviction record sealed. The court in which the eviction case was filed decides whether to seal the record. Other courts can order eviction records sealed but may not have a defined process for doing so.
