Just cause eviction rules in Newark, OH — sometimes called tenant protection or "for cause" eviction ordinances — list the specific legal reasons a landlord can end a tenancy.
Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1923 establishes uniform forcible entry and detainer procedures, and ORC 5321.17 sets termination notice requirements that govern evictions in every Ohio municipality.
Ohio does not require just cause for eviction at lease end. ORC 1923 sets uniform forcible entry and detainer (FED) procedures with three-day notice to vacate (ORC 1923.04) before filing. Month-to-month tenancies require 30 days written notice (ORC 5321.17). Fixed-term leases simply expire. Cleveland adopted a pay-to-stay ordinance in 2021, but most Ohio municipalities lack just-cause eviction protections because state procedures apply uniformly and local additions face preemption challenges.
Self-help eviction (lockouts, utility shutoffs) violates ORC 5321.15 and creates landlord liability for damages.
