Ohio Landlord Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Ohio Landlord Kit, Ohio Small Claims Kit, Eviction Case File Organizer)

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in Ohio: the state's rules, a small claims case for unpaid rent or damage, and an eviction case file if it comes to that.

Not the right fit if

Your rentals aren't in Ohio, or you only need one of the kits. Not a property management or legal service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Ohio kits are built only from our Ohio data files: Ohio data files, checked November 2026 against 10 official pages, among them Ohio Laws: Revised Code 5321.16; Ohio Revised Code 5321.17 (Termination of tenancy); Ohio Revised Code 5321.04 (Landlord obligations); Ohio Revised Code 1923.04 (Notice to leave premises); Ohio Revised Code Chapter 5321 (Landlords and tenants), full chapter; Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1923, Forcible Entry and Detainer; Ohio small claims data file, checked November 2026 against Ohio Revised Code 1925.02 Jurisdiction; Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1925 Small Claims Divisions.
• Eviction Case File Organizer covers every state; the Ohio kits carry the state rules.

What is inside

• Ohio Landlord Compliance Kit. The Ohio landlord-tenant rules in one package: no deposit cap in the law read; deposit returned within 30 days; 30-day notice to end month-to-month; 3-day notice for unpaid rent. Deposits, notice periods, the eviction case and the small claims limit, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date. What it confirms: deposit limit: No maximum in 5321.16; return deadline: Within 30 days after the rental agreement ends and possession is delivered: the balance with an itemized written notice, sent to the forwarding address the tenant gives in writing (5321.16(B)); itemized list of deductions: An itemized written notice of deductions (5321.16(B)); interest on the deposit: 5% a year on the part of the deposit above $50 or one month's rent, whichever is greater, if the tenant stays six months or more; computed and paid yearly (5321.16(A)); where the deposit is held: None stated in 5321.16; penalty the law states: The money owed plus damages equal to the amount wrongfully withheld and reasonable attorney fees; not available to a tenant who gave no forwarding address (5321.16(C)); ending month-to-month (landlord): Notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date (7 days before the termination date for week-to-week); ending month-to-month (tenant): Notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date (7 days before the termination date for week-to-week). How to use the kit, the 18 confirmed Ohio rules at a glance and the 5 items to confirm: filing fee, time to answer or appear, judgment to writ, paying to stop the case, right to counsel (statewide), each with the official page to check. When each notice must go out: the lead time for every notice the state's text confirms, with a 2027 month-by-month serve-by table worked out with our notice date calculator's rules.
• Ohio Small Claims Court Kit. In Ohio, small claims (Small Claims Division (Municipal Court or County Court)) cover claims up to $6,000. From the official page: ORC 1925.02 (current version effective April 9, 2025, SB 237, 135th General Assembly): small claims divisions hear actions for recovery of money and taxes for amounts not exceeding $6,000, exclusive of interest and costs. How to use the kit, the 6 confirmed Ohio facts at a glance, what we couldn't confirm (filing fees, appeal, online filing) with the page to check, and a yes/no checklist: is the amount under $6,000, is it the right court, is there someone to serve and something to collect from. A claim calculator that adds up your items and compares the total with $6,000, a costs sheet, a deadline sheet in business days that skips weekends and federal holidays, and a collection tracker with the balance owed. A neutral demand letter to fill in (what happened, the amount, a reply-by date, how to pay), a log of every reply and offer, and a short checklist before sending.
