Dear _________________:
      Landlord's Name

     The Ohio Landlord Tenant Law requires a landlord to:

"Supply running water, reasonable amounts of hot water, and
reasonable heat..." (ORC 5321.04[A][6])

     I believe that it is your responsibility to pay for the
_________________ in my unit at __________________ because:
(type of utility)               (tenant's address)

     []  The installation for providing heat is not under my
exclusive control; and/or,

     []  The installation for providing hot water is not under my
exclusive control; and/or,

     []  The utility service is not supplied by a direct
connection from a public utility.

     I hope that this clarifies our respective duties and that I
will not have to take further action under Chapter 5321.07 of the
Ohio Revised Code.

Sincerely,
