What Ohio law says
| Notice before a rent increase | No statute sets a notice period for rent increases. In practice, a month-to-month landlord changes rent by ending the tenancy and offering new terms, which requires 30 days' notice before the periodic rental date (7 days for week-to-week). For a fixed-term lease, rent can change only at renewal or as the lease allows. Source: Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.17(A)-(B) |
|---|---|
| Rent control / increase limits | Local rent control and rent stabilization are preempted statewide. Source: Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.19(A) |
