Ohio Eviction Question
Tenants signed 2 yr lease at residential home. Nothing but problems. First, they called Property Manager and claimed gas leak. Immediately investigated to find out they had removed GAS logs from fireplace and were burning wood! Immediately shut off all gas and disallowed use of fireplace again. (Tenant is a "Construction" business owner - but yet claimed to not know the fireplace was gas!) When property manager scheduled 24 hrs ahead to inspect this issue, and showed up the next day with a contractor, the tenant screamed profanities and refused to allow him inside. Had to call Sheriff for assistance. Second, with work trailer, they ran over front yard and created huge ruts in grass, and knocked down mailbox. Mailbox down for over 2 weeks, ruts not fixed. So, owner files for Eviction. Served 30 day notice to repair. Nothing resolved by tenants. Then served 3 day notice to quit. At the court Hearing the tenants show up. No decision by Magistrate at time of hearing. Told they would be notified by mail in about a week. So not sure if these people will be evicted or not yet......Question is: a few hours AFTER the court hearing, the tenants decided to fix the lawn. Also, there are multiple police reports of heroin overdoses, children's welfare calls, domestic disturbance, parking violations, etc. Almost 15 incidents in a 6 months span of time. However, the eviction notice specifically was for the damage to the property and refusing entry. Will it matter that they fixed the issue AFTER the court hearing? Also, could the landlord ADD the additional violations - or would they be required to re-file the eviction if they lose the unlawful detainer 1st cause hearing? Thanks!
