Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Ohio
My landlord has posted a 24 hours notice for inspection on my door without a reason as to why my unit needs to be inspected. Do I have to let them in, or can I tell them they have to give a 24 hour notice with a reason included?

In Ohio, the law does not require that the landlord give a reason for the inspection. If you do not allow the landlord in (though he is certainly required to work with you to arrange for a reasonable time to do the inspection that you can live with) then he could evict you for failing to comply with R.C. 5321.05 after giving you notice of the breach.
