Toledo treats rentals of 30 or more consecutive days as long-term tenancies governed by Ohio Landlord-Tenant law (ORC Chapter 5321), not as short-term rentals. Stays under 30 days fall under Ch. 1771 STR registration and hotel-motel tax.
The break point between short-term and long-term in Toledo is the 30-day threshold built into Ohio hotel-tax statutes and consistent with TMC Ch. 1771. A booking of 30 or more consecutive nights converts the relationship into a residential tenancy under ORC Ch. 5321: written rental agreement, security-deposit handling, habitability, and statutory eviction process all apply. Operators who accept long stays cannot rely on STR-style platform-level removals. Hosts running monthly furnished rentals are typically exempt from the city hotel-motel tax but become subject to landlord registration and lead-paint certification rules.
Using STR check-out procedures to remove a 30-plus-day occupant is unlawful self-help eviction under ORC 5321.15 and exposes the host to statutory damages, attorney fees, and possible criminal trespass charges if tenant property is removed.
