Ohio Notice of Rent Increase
Give written notice before raising rent on a Ohio tenancy. A Ohio rent increase should be in writing. Many landlords use at least the same notice they would use to end a month-to-month tenancy. Either party may end a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days’ notice (Ohio Rev. Code § 5321.17). The lease may require more. Local rent-control rules can cap the amount even when the notice period is met.

- City rent-control or just-cause rules may still limit the increase.
