Landlord Responsibilities In Ohio

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Ohio, landlords have certain obligations:
- To make all necessary repairs
- To keep the premises in a livable condition
- To maintain compliance with all relevant health and safety codes
If these are not met, you may have rights including withholding rent or repairing and deducting the cost from rent. Please consult a local attorney for advice specific to your situation.

Hello Da-Shawn, in Ohio, you have the right to "repair and deduct." If your landlord fails to make necessary repairs, you can do so and deduct the cost from your rent. However, certain conditions apply:
- You must notify the landlord and give them reasonable time to fix the issue.
- The cost of repairs cannot exceed $* or one month's rent, whichever is greater.
- You can use this remedy no more than twice in a *-month period.
Please consult a local attorney for advice specific to your situation.

Da-Shawn, since your landlord has failed to act despite knowing the issues, you may consider sending a written notice outlining the problems and your intention to use "repair and deduct" if they aren't rectified. If the situation persists, consult a local attorney to explore further legal actions.

Da-Shawn, if you are being wrongly evicted, you can fight the eviction in court. Ohio law states that tenants can't be evicted for exercising their legal rights. Please consult with a local attorney immediately to understand your rights and legal options.

Da-Shawn, since your rent is paid and you've fulfilled your obligations, you can defend yourself in court against the eviction. Please consult an attorney and present any proof of paid rent and communication about the repair issues. In Ohio, you have legal protections against retaliatory eviction.
