NOTICE: Ohio law (Ohio Revised Code Section 5321.02) requires landlords to keep rental properties in a fit and habitable condition and requires them to make all necessary repairs. Landlords are also prohibited under Ohio law from retaliating against tenants for exercising their rights under the law. This includes trying to evict a tenant, increasing rent, or decreasing services because the tenant complained to the landlord or a governmental agency about a violation of the law.
