Must a Ohio landlord provide an itemized statement of deductions?

Honest limits
This is an informational answer based on ORC 5321.16 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.
