So it isn't a complete waste, you would simply need to follow the strict reading of the law with no private clauses for consideration...I'm not sure how that plays out since technically if the lease is void, so is the tenancy meaning you could terminate anytime and not wait for the original lease expiration...I'm sure that's covered somewhere, but again I'd ask my local atty what to do given this is such a locally specific issue. 

Im an investor as well as own my own property management company.  

Shout-Out to an Amazing Realtor for Out-of-State Investors – Melissa Hudson in Cleveland, OHHey Bigger Pockets Community,I wanted to take a moment to share an incredible experience I had working with Melissa Hudson, a realtor based in Cleveland, Ohio, who helped me sell my out-of-state investment property.

Despite the mess I was in, she stepped in and took charge of selling my property with absolute professionalism.

I get 90% of my lots from MLS.

I’m super grateful to have started my passive income portfolio with Palak and know others in my group who have been successful as well!

I am new to the area with my family of 3.

I didnt do my DD.

From online research, I was able to find out that other cities in Ohio tax all your income (w2 & rental income) if you own a property there & some give you a small credit for taxes paid to other cities.My question is, if I buy a property in Cleveland (or a CLE suburb), would my w2 income be taxable in Cleveland (or a CLE suburb)?
