If you are a tenant and have received notice, you can do what is required in the notice by the deadline given, negotiate with your landlord, or do nothing. Your landlord must give you proper notice before evicting you (see Available Ohio Termination Notices). If you were given proper notice and you do not comply, your landlord may evict you. When the eviction process has been started by your landlord, you will be served with summons and complaint. It may be given to you directly or it may be mailed along with it being posted on the property. It will include the reasons that you are being evicted as well as court information. As a tenant, you can file a counterclaim or prepare your defenses.

If you have reached this point, you may wish to seek the advice of an experienced Ohio evictions lawyer, either to give you sound advice or to help you defend against eviction.
