A Ohio 3-Day Notice to Leave the Premises (Nonpayment of Rent) is commonly used when a tenant has not paid rent and the landlord needs to provide a formal written notice before initiating eviction proceedings. This notice informs the tenant that rent is past due and must be paid within the required three-day period or possession of the rental property may be surrendered.
Under Ohio law, tenants are generally given three (3) days after service of the notice to pay the amount due or vacate the premises. If the balance is not paid within that timeframe, the landlord may proceed with filing an eviction action through the court.
The form is designed for practical use, with clearly labeled sections for tenant names, property address, rental period, and total amount due, along with instructions for where and how payment may be made.
