If you’re a landlord in Ohio and you are renting your property on a month-to-month basis to a single tenant, you need this Ohio-specific rental agreement to get every tenancy off to a good start. Designed to comply with state law, this rental agreement from Nolo lets you:
- specify who can live on the property, the amount of rent, and how it’s to be paid
- set the security deposit and explain how it will be used and returned
- explain your rights to enter the rental and the tenant’s and landlord’s upkeep responsibilities
- inform the tenant how the agreement can be terminated, and how you may modify it
- make required disclosures regarding environmental hazards and other significant issues
The agreement comes with a full set of clause-by-clause instructions, explaining the meaning of each clause and how to fill in the required information. Use the word processing program on your computer (or print the form and fill in the blanks) to create a legal, binding rental agreement that embodies the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants in Ohio, all in plain English.
