Ohio Security & Investigations helps landlords and property managers across Youngstown, Boardman, Warren, and the Mahoning Valley deliver notices and court papers professionally.

The Notice Before Filing

In most residential eviction cases, Ohio law requires a written notice to leave the premises, commonly called a three day notice, before a landlord files an eviction case. The notice must contain specific language and be delivered in a way the law allows, such as by handing it to the tenant, leaving it at the premises, or certified mail.

Papers After Filing

• The summons and complaint for forcible entry and detainer
• Notices of hearing
• Other court filings as directed by the court

Many courts handle eviction service through the bailiff or clerk. Check your court’s procedures.

Documentation Protects Landlords

When a notice is delivered, record the date, time, method, and who received it. Our servers provide written proof of delivery, which can help if the tenant disputes receiving the notice.

Talk to an Attorney

Eviction law has strict requirements, and local courts have their own procedures. Landlords should consult an Ohio attorney for the correct notice language and filing steps.
