Ohio eviction steps
- 3-day notice. Serve a written notice to leave the premises at least 3 days before filing, delivered by certified mail, by hand, or left at the premises, with the statutory warning language. (Ohio Rev. Code §1923.04)
- File the complaint. File in the municipal or county court for the property's location; the clerk issues the summons. (Ohio Rev. Code Chapter 1923)
- Hearing. The court sets a hearing date on the summons. Bring the lease, ledger and a copy of the notice.
- Writ and set-out. After judgment, the landlord requests a writ of restitution (execution); the court bailiff supervises the move-out.
