Ohio require interest on security deposits?
I need to return part of a security deposit on a tenant who lived in a rental in central Ohio for 3 years. The deposit was equal to one month's rent. Am I required to give him 3 years worth of interest on the security deposit? I am hearing conflicting answers. Also can you deduct cleaning expenses (dirty bathrooms, showers, appliances, not wear and tear)?
