Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Ohio
What constitutes "written notice?" I live in the state of Ohio. I had a month-to-month lease agreement in place. I called and left a voicemail in November saying I will be moving out at the end of december. The manager that signed my lease text me back saying she will miss me told me there was nothing else needed just to drop off the keys before I move out. I paid decembers rent. She told me she would mail me the deposit still haven't received it and she is no l Is a 30-day notice in the form of a text message meet the requirements of a 30-day notice?

In ohio there are some cases which talk about actual notice being sufficient even when written notice is required. The primary case I've seen on that is mccowan versus d m group 9. This case holds the purpose of written notice requirements is to provide actual notice and not to be hyper technical.
The text message send by the landlord if you still have it will be the best evidence of the landlord's actual knowledge of your notice.
