Question

My tenant signed a lease agree stateing she has to imideatley vacate the property on the first of month. She will not leave do I have to legally evict her through court or can I go change the locks now since she did not leave like the lease stated



Answer

In Ohio you will have to go through the statutory eviction process to get rid of a residential tenant despite what your lease agreement says. Clauses in lease agreements do not override Ohio Revised Code Section 5321.15's prohibitions against self help evictions.

If you need help with the eviction process, you can ring me at 614.580.4316.
