Ohio eviction experiences/thoughts

Anyone have experience with an eviction in Ohio?  I've got a tenant who, after trying making excuses for not having rent, finally admitted he couldn't come up with the money.  My manager told him to be out this past weekend.  The tenant said his girlfriend would cover the next couple month's rent, however, when my manager called her she said she wouldn't have any money until the end of the month.  I know where this is headed...he's going to squat as long as he possibly can for free.  My manager is starting the eviction process, with which I'm unfamiliar, especially timeframe; I'm wondering if it might be worth paying the guy off...i.e. give him a couple hundred of his deposit back if he vacates this week and leaves the place in decent condition.  Any thoughts?

Post the three day notice and start the eviction process. Sounds like these tenants will continue to be a problem for you. I have a good real estate attorney who handles all our evictions if you need a recommendation.
