Landlord Tenant
Demand Letter
Ohio
Cost of writing a demand letter?
I am currently in a dispute with a tenant who has failed to pay rent for the past six months. I have tried to resolve the issue with the tenant directly but he has been uncooperative. I am now considering taking legal action and have heard that a demand letter is a good first step. I would like to know the cost of having a lawyer write a demand letter for me.
Jeffrey K.
A demand letter would probable cost between $100 and $150. However, if you have a tenant that is six months behind in rent, you're better off posting a 3 day notice to vacate and evict the tenant and get a paying tenant in the property. If the tenant hasn't paid in the past six months, it's unlikely the tenant will start paying now. You can always sue the tenant after you evict them (or even during the eviction process) but getting them out will allow you to place a paying tenant in your property.
Landlord Tenant
Rental Agreement
Ohio
Do I need witnesses for a rental agreement?
I recently signed a rental agreement with my landlord for a new apartment. I am concerned that the agreement may not be legally binding as there were no witnesses present when I signed it. I am looking for advice on whether or not witnesses are needed for a rental agreement to be legally valid.
Michelle M.
Witnesses are not required for a residential lease agreement in Ohio. However, if the term of the lease is 3 years or longer, the signatures must be notarized. I hope this helps.
Landlord Tenant
Building Lease
Ohio
Can a landlord terminate a building lease before the agreed-upon end date?
with background: 'Can a landlord legally terminate a building lease before the agreed-upon end date? I signed a lease for a commercial space for my small business, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the landlord has informed me that they want to terminate the lease early. I am concerned about the potential financial and operational impacts this may have on my business and want to understand my rights and options in this situation.
Michelle M.
The answer to your question is contained in the lease. All rights and obligations of parties to a commercial lease are controlled by and provided for within the lease. If your lease provides for early termination by the landlord, then the landlord can exercise that option. If it doesn't provide for early termination and you are in compliance with the lease, then they can't terminate early (at least not without your consent). You should retain a local attorney who can review the lease and provide advice concerning your specific situation. Best of luck!
Landlord Tenant
Lease Renewal Agreement
Ohio
Can a tenant renew the lease?
I am currently renting a property under a lease agreement that is set to expire soon. I am interested in continuing to rent the property for another term, but I am unsure if I have the legal right to renew the lease or if I need to negotiate a new lease agreement with my landlord. Therefore, I would like to seek the advice of a lawyer to clarify my options for continuing my tenancy.
Jeffrey K.
You need to review your lease agreement. There may be a section that discusses renewal. Some leases are silent, other contemplate automatic renewal and others will have a specific renewal procedure. If your lease has no renewal language, the lease will terminate at the end of the term. If that is the case, you should speak to your landlord about entering into a new lease, whether under the same terms or different terms. If the lease renews automatically, you most likely have to do nothing (if there is a procedure in the automatic renewal language, follow that procedure). If there is a specific procedure to renew, you must follow that procedure. Your lease may also state that if you remain in the property after the lease expires you will be treated as a month-to-month tenant and the terms of your lease (include rent rate) will remain. The landlord or tenant in that case can terminate the month-to-month tenancy with 30 days notice from the date the rent is due. If your rent is due July 1, 2023 and, as a month-to-month tenant, you want to move out, you would notify your landlord in writing on July 1, 2023 that July is the last month you are renting from him and you will be moving out on July 31, 2023. Likewise the landlord can notify you on July 1, 2023 that July is your last month or could change the terms (such as a rent increase) effective August 1, 2023 because the tenancy is month-to-month. There is also the possibility that you would not be considered a month-to-month tenant, but a "holdover tenant". Again, check the lease for these terms. If you are a holdover tenant, the landlord would include in the lease a rental increase for holdover tenants. This is still technically a month-to-month tenancy but on more expensive terms and the landlord most likely will want you out. Check your lease for renewal provisions and follow them. If you have questions, speak to your landlord. Open communication is important in situations like this.

Lease Termination Letter
Massachusetts
Can I terminate my lease early without penalty due to unforeseen circumstances?
I signed a one-year lease for an apartment last month, but my circumstances have drastically changed and I am no longer able to afford the rent or live in the area due to a sudden job loss and financial hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. I have tried to negotiate with the landlord to terminate the lease early, but they insist that I am responsible for the full lease term and any associated penalties for breaking the lease. I want to know if there are any legal grounds for me to terminate the lease without incurring additional costs or penalties given the unforeseen circumstances that have arisen.
Darryl S.
You should review the termination provisions in your lease, but generally the answer is no - you cannot terminate early unless your Landlord agrees to the termination in writing.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
