What Cleveland renters should know about notices and evictions

Ohio law generally requires a landlord to serve a written 3-day notice before filing an eviction action for nonpayment of rent, and that notice must include specific statutory language advising the tenant to seek legal assistance if they're unsure of their rights, under Ohio Revised Code 1923.04. The notice itself is a notice to leave the premises; state law does not, on its own, give a tenant the right to pay late and stay.

Inside the City of Cleveland — which includes Clark-Fulton — a separate city ordinance changes that. Cleveland's “Pay to Stay” ordinance, Codified Ordinances Section 375.13 (Ordinance 484-2022), lets a tenant facing eviction for nonpayment raise the landlord's refusal of payment as an affirmative defense: if the tenant offers all past-due rent plus reasonable late fees before the case is filed — or that amount plus the eviction court costs once it has been filed — and the landlord refuses to take it, the tenant can assert that refusal in court. It is an affirmative defense the tenant has to raise, not an automatic bar to eviction, and it applies only to nonpayment cases. The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland explains how Pay to Stay works and who it covers. This is general information about Ohio law and Cleveland ordinance, not legal advice; renters should verify their specific situation against the Ohio Revised Code or with a local tenant-rights organization.
