Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Ohio

Your landlord is likely giving you a Three Day Notice. Under Ohio Landlord/Tenant law, in order to successfully evict a tenant, a landlord must first give a tenant a Three Day Notice to leave the premises. If, after the expiration of the three day period, the tenant has not left the premises, the landlord can then - and only then - file an eviction action against the tenant in a court of law. Once the eviction action is filed, it will be served on the tenant, either by mail or by personal service. An initial court appearance is generally scheduled two or three weeks after the landlord files the eviction lawsuit. From your perspective, if you cannot move within three days, an eviction action will be filed against you, but you will have a few additional weeks in which you can make plans to move.
