Ohio Rent and Landlord-Tenant Rules

What owners should know about rent increases and notice under Ohio law.

Ohio Rent Rules

No Rent Control
prohibited by state law

Ohio has no rent control, and state law prohibits local rent-control ordinances. There is no statewide limit on how much rent can increase; the amount and timing are governed by the terms of your lease, subject to proper notice and fair-housing rules.

Example: for a month-to-month tenancy, Ohio calls for 30 days written notice before a change takes effect.

What Ohio Owners Should Know

  • No rent control, rent increases are set by the lease, not a state cap
  • 30-day written notice for a month-to-month tenancy
  • Security deposit handling follows Ohio Revised Code 5321
  • Written leases keep increases, entry and renewals clear and enforceable
  • Local ordinances and fair-housing rules still apply, so always confirm the current requirements

General information, not legal advice. Intempus keeps every Ohio lease compliant and reviews each increase before it goes out.
