Hi all,
Any recommendations from real estate investors / landlors on their favorite local credit unions, and points of contact at them, in Columbus OH?  We are researching lenders that are local.

Thank you @Cheryl Mack!!!

We have a tenant on a Month to Month lease.  He was late paying in May and is yet to pay for June rent.
He is on a 30-day Lease Termination Notice as of June 2. (Sent via Certified Mail and in email)

We'd like to begin taking steps to prepare for an eviction and garnishing wages for rent backpayment.

Need someone who is well versed in this process and knows the ins and outs to doing so efficiently and effectively in Columbus OH.

Thank you.

Hi all,

We are getting ready to evict a tenant.  We've tried the service BP sends you to for "Lawyers" (Contracts Counsel) and is deplorable and a disaster.
If you want more info on why, DM me and I'll send the details.

Do any of you have recommendations besides "Go to the Columbus Bar Association and look".?
Getting suggestions from this community, or where to go on BP, besides getting sent out to ContractsCounsel, is preferred.

Thank you.

Hi all

We have sent a certified letter to our tenant (Lease Termination - he is on a Month to Month - so we gave him a 30 day notice) on June 2 and need to begin eviction proceedings.

We wonder who has done this before (in OH) and any specific legal requirements we should follow.  The tenant has not paid rent for June and has not paid the daily late fee.

Thanks all!

Thank you so much for this! It helps to confirm what we had written is clear and to the point about each item in the lease.  Thank you for replying to my question.

Hi all,
I've been waiting on attornies to consider my project-bid -- on another platform Bigger Pockets recommended (and still no replies!).... so am posting here for additional insight in the meantime.

We have a tenant on a Month to month lease in Ohio.

He is consistently late on rent. 

We have a clause that allows for a 30 day notice to tenant to vacate, but have these questions:
a. Besides emailing him a 30 day notice, does OH require a reason? We have seen both "yes" and "no, no reason is necessary" by OH legal websites.

b. What kind of verbiage should we consider to ensure he  knows he is still responsible for the rent (for the 30 days), the late fees ($30 per day), and will be responsible for any damage done to the home should he do so before leaving.

Thank you!!

 Thanks for this Scott.  And yes, all great theories -- and ones the plumber debunked when he went to check out the issue.  He found no issues like that, but did confirm a smell.  He left the tenant with a special enzymatic solution that was supposed to address "food and grease" issues.

 Yes in fact.   The Prop Mgr assured us of this, and mentioned it twice to the tenant in their response to the tenant's dispute.

 Yep! Totally understood.   
Since it is explained clearly in the contract terms, (managing expectations there), the PM's initial response to the dispute was to reference that language.

We found out about the dispute after the tenant had repeated her dispute 2x -- and the property mgmt asked us what we wanted to do.
