In Ohio, if a tenant is evicted:
- Landlords must give a *-day notice to vacate before starting eviction proceedings.
- If the tenant doesn't leave, the landlord can sue in court.
- After a court order, the tenant has 10 days to leave.
- If the tenant stays, the bailiff (not the landlord) forcibly removes the tenant.
It said I had until the 6th of May does that mean I have until midnight tonight
Yes, Mindy. Generally, the deadline given is until the end of the specified day, which would be midnight. However, please contact your local court or a legal professional to confirm this.
What is it that someone told me about them having to come up and red flag your door and then you would still have like 5 days from the day to the red flag to be out of here completely
In Ohio, after a court-ordered eviction:
- A set-out order is issued by the court.
- The bailiff will "red-tag" or post a notice at your property.
- You'll typically have 5 days from the posting to leave.
- Your belongings can be removed after those 5 days.
Please consult with a local legal professional for specifics.
