What Ohio law says

Lease Agreements

Ohio Revised Code §5321 sets no statutory cap on security deposits, but landlords must pay 5% annual interest on amounts over $50 held more than 6 months, and return deposits within 30 days.

Eviction Notices

Ohio requires a 3-day notice to leave the premises before a landlord can file an eviction action (Ohio Rev. Code §1923.04).

LLC Formation

Ohio has no annual LLC report requirement or franchise tax, making ongoing compliance simpler than in many other states.

Wills & Estates

Ohio requires two witnesses for a valid will, and a self-proving affidavit can speed up probate by avoiding the need to locate witnesses later.

Laws change frequently, so always consult a licensed local attorney before executing a legal document.
