ORC 5321.17:
Requires that a landlord provide a tenant in a
month-to-month tenancy with a full thirty (30) day notice to
terminate the previous agreement and begin a new agreement. This
means that the tenancy can only end on a date that is the last
day of the tenancy period. The new terms of any new agreement
will begin the first day of the new tenancy after a full thirty
(30) day period has lapsed. The old tenancy would terminate the
day BEFORE your rent is due. For example:
The rental due date is the first (1st) of the month. If your landlord provides you with a thirty (30) day notice to move on the sixth (6th) or after of October, the previous rental agreement will not terminate until the first (1st) of December. This is because at least thirty (30) days must pass from the date of the notice and that date upon which the tenancy will terminate. Therefore, on December 1st the new terms of the tenancy will begin.
After the landlord has provided an appropriate thirty (30) day notice of a rental increase, if the tenant has not agreed to pay the increased rent or moved out, the landlord may then proceed with a three-day notice to vacate, and then file for an eviction if the tenant does not move out.
