Procedure for not renewing Tenants Lease in Ohio

[Michelle Fox]

I currently have a tenant in Ohio whose lease term is coming up for renewal. I do not want to renew the lease. What is the proper protocol for informing tenant? Thank you.

@Michelle Fox

universally, just tell them you are not renewing their lease (no need to explain why if you don't want to). leases only auto-renew if both parties make no action to the contrary.

but tenant/landlord laws vary by city/county, check your local laws, but my feeling is that it's common contract law governing this and a simple notice to not renew (good juju to give 30+days notice) should be fine.
