_______________________ Date _____________________ Landlord's Name _____________________ Address ______________________ City, State, Zip Code Dear _________________: Landlord's Name I would like to clarify the requirement for giving proper notice before entering my apartment. According to 5321.04 of the Ohio Revised Code, a landlord must give the tenant at least 24 hours notice, unless it is an emergency, before entering a tenant's unit and enter only at reasonable times. The law provides that if the landlord enters in violation of this provision, makes a lawful entry in an unreasonable manner, or makes repeated demands for entry whch have the effect of harrassing the tenant, then the tenant may recover actual damages and obtain injunctive relief, as well as attorney's fees and court costs, and terminate the rental agreement. I will be pleased to arrange with you, or any of your staff or employees, times for entry into my unit. Please feel free to contact me to set up such appointments. I hope that you will abide by this request and that we can establish a more effective working relationship. Sincerely, ______________________ Tenant's Signature _______________________ Address ________________________ City, State, Zip Code FL: 4 ILLEGAL ENTRY cc: copy retained for my records
