I purchased my grandfather’s house where my cousin resides without a formal lease, and now she refuses to vacate. Is it legally necessary in Ohio to serve a 30-day notice?
In a similar situation I faced, though I am not a lawyer, I carefully reviewed local regulations and ensured to follow due process when dealing with non-formal tenants. The situation can be murky because even without a written lease, established occupancy may confer legal protections. In my case, consulting with legal counsel helped clarify whether a formal notice was needed or if other eviction procedures had to be observed. Local laws and any past occupancy patterns greatly influence these decisions, so professional advice is advisable.
hey, im not a lawyer but in ohio even without a formal lease u usually must give a 30-day notic. your cousin might still have some tenant rights so its best to check with a local legal expert.
