Retaliation Prohibited!

The Ohio Landlord Tenant Law forbids a landlord from retaliating against a tenant by increasing the rent, decreasing the services, evicting or threatening to evict the tenant because the tenant has:

• Complained to a public official
• Complained to the landlord
• Joined with other tenants to bargain collectively over the terms and conditions of the rental agreement.

A landlord who engages in retaliation may be held liable for any actual damages to the tenant and for reasonable attorney's fees.
