Ohio evictions start with a breach of the lease agreement by the tenant. The landlord then posts a three day notice to vacate upon the door. The landlord can then file a forcible entry and detainer action with the court and a hearing is set to determine who has the right to possession. If the landlord wins possession at the hearing, then the court will award a writ of restitution and a praecipe for set out upon application by the landlord. The Bailiff will then meet the landlord at the premises for the set out and the changing of the locks.
Please understand that this video and the information herein apply only to evictions in the State of Ohio. Other states may have similar or different laws. Consult a lawyer if you are in doubt as to your rights.
