An Ohio month-to-month lease agreement might be just what you need if flexibility is your priority. But don’t leave things up to a handshake—verbal agreements are hard to enforce and can leave landlords exposed. Whether you’re renting in Columbus, Cleveland, or Cincinnati, a written month-to-month lease protects your rights, ensures compliance with state laws, and provides peace of mind for both parties.

Required Landlord Disclosures (2)
- Name/address of the property owner: All lease agreements, including oral agreements, must include the name and address of the property owner and the owner’s agent (if applicable). The landlord must provide this information to the tenant in writing. Failure to provide it may waive specific notice requirements for the tenant (5321.18).
- Lead-based paint disclosure: Ohio landlords are subject to federal guidelines regarding lead-based paint and hazards in properties built before 1978. These guidelines require landlords to provide tenants with a lead-based paint and hazard disclosure form and an EPA pamphlet when renting out such properties.
Required Notice to Terminate Month-to-Month Agreement
In Ohio, both landlords and tenants generally need to provide 30 days’ written notice to terminate a month-to-month lease agreement (5321.17).
Rent Increase Laws
There are no rent control laws in Ohio, so landlords are allowed to raise rent as they see fit. However, they must give at least 30 days’ notice on a month-to-month lease that rent is increasing.
