Published by The Legal Aid Society of Cleveland, this 6th edition publication was produced to provide accurate and authoritative information on Ohio eviction and landlord-tenant law, and related subject-matters. It is not intended as a substitute for the advice of an attorney who is familiar with your case and circumstances. If you need legal or other expert advice, you should contact an attorney or other professional.

Ohio Eviction and Landlord-Tenant Law (5th ed.) is a practitioner's manual. It is a manual principally for attorneys (and advocates) who represent or counsel tenants or landlords, and for judges and magistrates who hear eviction actions or other residential landlord-tenant cases. Of course, it is a manual for tenants and landlords as well. The fifth edition updates and expands the book's overviews and analyses of: (1) Ohio statutes and case law on eviction actions, residential tenancies, manufactured home parks, and land installment contracts; and (2) Ohio case law and federal statutes and regulations on HUD-assisted rental housing programs, relative to eviction actions and terminations of participation in the Housing Choice Voucher program. These overviews and analyses address procedure and practice issues, as well as potential claims, defenses, and remedies.

In every major city in the world there is a housing crisis. How did this happen and what can we do about it? Everyone needs and deserves housing. But today our homes are being transformed into commodities, making the inequalities of the city ever more acute. Profit has become more important than social need. The poor are forced to pay more for worse housing. Communities are faced with the violence of displacement and gentrification. And the benefits of decent housing are only available for those who can afford it. In Defense of Housing is the definitive statement on this crisis from leading urban planner Peter Marcuse and sociologist David Madden. They look at the causes and consequences of the housing problem and detail the need for progressive alternatives. The housing crisis cannot be solved by minor policy shifts, they argue. Rather, the housing crisis has deep political and economic roots—and therefore requires a radical response.
