Dear _________________:
      Landlord's Name

     This notice is to remind you that under Section 5321.05 of 
the Ohio Revised Code, a tenant must conduct herself/himself, and 
require other persons on the premises with consent, to conduct 
themselves in a manner that does not prevent the neighbors' 
peaceful enjoyment of the premises.
     I feel that the tenant at _______________________________ 
                                 (address/apartment number) has 

violated this  requirement because of the following condition(s):

_________________________________________________________________

     The Ohio Landlord/Tenant Law (ORC 5321.04) requires you to 
keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition.  I feel that 
the above situation significantly compromises the habitability of 
my unit.  If the above conditions are not remedied within a 
reasonable time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, I may exercise 
my rights as provided by ORC 5321.07.

     Please note that ORC 5321.02 prohibits any landlord from 
retaliating against a tenant by threatening eviction, decreasing 
services, or increasing the rent where the tenant has engaged in 
a protected activity such as complaining about dwelling 
conditions. 

     I hope these conditions can be remedied without further 
delay.  Thank you for your attention to these problems.    
      
                         Sincerely,

                         ______________________
