Is there a rent cap in Ohio?
No. Ohio has no statewide rent cap. The lease governs rent increases during any fixed term. After the fixed term or on month-to-month tenancies, the landlord may raise rent with the required advance notice. Ohio has no statewide advance notice specific to rent increases. ORC 5321.17 sets 30 days as the month-to-month termination default, treated as the default for rent changes. No state rent cap.

This is an informational answer based on ORC 5321.17 (30-day month-to-month termination default) as of early 2026. It is not legal advice. Housing law changes year to year and local ordinances (especially in rent-controlled or rent-stabilized cities) can override or add to state law. For contested cases, consult a Ohio-licensed attorney.
