Ohio State Laws on Evicting a Tenant for Non-Payment of Rent
********************
Although laws vary from state to state, I would think that once an eviction is filed with the court system for non-payment of rent in any state, that accepting rent and depositing it into an account cancels out the eviction. That's how it works in Ohio.
Payments can be held, but the tenant must be notified that it is being held and not deposited and put towards their outstanding debt.
Judges in different municipalities rule differently. Some will ask if you are holding payment and give you permission to deposit it and still go through with the eviction. Others will not and make you return it to the tenant if you want to continue with them issuing the writ of restitution.
Owners and Property Managers need to be aware of the laws governing evictions in their state.
