I’m ready to re t out my first property in Ohio. Is it required for me to get any license/ certificate before I start renting. I want to make sure everything is legally correct, so I don’t have issues because I missed something

I'm in NY, so the requirements may be different. In my area, if you own an investment propert/non owner occupied, you need to add it to a separate registry and file with the municipality in order to legally collect rent and have backing in case of eviction. I would recommend calling your local codes department or planning board
