What is the Ohio eviction process and how long does it take?

The Ohio eviction process requires landlords to provide written notice to tenants before filing a court action. The type and length of notice depends on the reason for eviction — typically shorter for non-payment of rent and longer for lease violations or no-fault terminations. Self-help evictions (changing locks, removing belongings, shutting off utilities) are illegal in Ohio. The full court process varies but typically takes several weeks.
