Houses for rent in Warrensville Heights, OH

Warrensville Heights is a southeast Cuyahoga County suburb near the I-271 corridor, adjacent to North Randall. Rent Finder Cleveland doesn't currently work with a home inside Warrensville Heights, though our 90+ home selection sits nearby in Cleveland's east side.

Where Warrensville Heights sits relative to Cleveland

Warrensville Heights is a Cuyahoga County suburb on Cleveland's southeast side, near the I-271 corridor and bordering the village of North Randall, home to the Thistledown Racino. It sits between the inner-ring Shaker Heights/Beachwood area and the Maple Heights/Bedford Heights corridor further south.

The city's housing stock is a mix of mid-20th-century single-family homes and smaller apartment and duplex buildings, typical of Cleveland's southeast-side inner suburbs.

Warrensville Heights and voucher protections — a notable local fact

Ohio has no statewide law requiring a landlord to accept a Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) as a source of income, and the City of Cleveland itself has no such ordinance. Warrensville Heights is one of five Cuyahoga County municipalities — alongside Cleveland Heights, South Euclid, University Heights, and Linndale — whose codified ordinances list source of income among the protected classes in housing. Warrensville Heights' provision is Chapter 113 of its Code of Ordinances, enacted May 15, 2012. Whether it protects a Housing Choice Voucher specifically is a separate question: Signal Cleveland reports that of those five, only Cleveland Heights, South Euclid and University Heights specifically include voucher protections. Confirm current details with the city or a local Fair Housing organization before you rely on it, since municipal ordinances change.

The Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) administers vouchers for all of Cuyahoga County, including Warrensville Heights, through its Housing Choice Voucher application, which accepts preliminary applications year-round with selection by periodic random lottery. Learn more in our Cleveland Section 8 guide.

What houses cost to rent near Cleveland's southeast suburbs

There isn't a Warrensville Heights-specific rent index, but two dated Cleveland-metro reports give a useful benchmark. Per Zumper's report dated July 4, 2026, the metro's median asking rent is $1,250/month. Per RentCafe (Yardi), dated July 2, 2026, the average rent across professionally managed apartments is $1,564/month for roughly 787 square feet — higher because it weighs larger managed complexes more heavily than Zumper's broader listing median.

Ohio landlord-tenant law that applies in Warrensville Heights

State law governs deposits and eviction notice statewide, including Warrensville Heights. Under ORC 5321.16, the part of a security deposit that exceeds $50 or one month's rent (whichever is greater) earns 5% annual interest if the tenant stays six months or more — the interest is on the excess, not on the whole deposit — and any deduction must be itemized in a written notice delivered with the money due within 30 days of the end of the tenancy and delivery of possession. A tenant who never gives the landlord a forwarding address in writing gives up the damages and attorney's fees the statute otherwise allows. A landlord must serve a statutory 3-day notice before filing an eviction for nonpayment, under ORC 1923.04. This is general information, not legal advice — verify current statute language before relying on it.
