The Ohio Statute of Conveyances requires that all leases of three years or more be signed and notarized. Leases not exceeding three years are exempt from these requirements. In other words, if a lease is for exactly three years or less, it does not have to be notarized.
Generally, recording of the lease protects the tenant against subsequent claims to the property. If the Landowner dies or sells the property during the lease term, a recorded lease helps ensure that the new owner adheres to the lease agreement (if that is specifically stated in the lease).
Written leases must be signed by the landlord and should be signed by the tenant. Leases for four years or more must be notarized to be valid. Additionally, a lease memorandum should be recorded for long-term leases to protect the tenant in the event the land is sold.
Leases for more than seven years must be registered with the Land Registry, and it's usually the tenant's responsibility to complete that registration. If they fail to do so within two months of completion, it is not a valid legal lease and only takes effect as an agreement for a lease (a contract).
In the ACT lease registration is not mandatory, regardless of the length of the lease term. That's great.
