Dear _________________:
      Landlord's Name

     I would like to clarify the requirement for giving proper 
notice before entering my apartment.  According to 5321.04 of the 
Ohio Revised Code, a landlord must give the tenant at least 24 
hours notice, unless it is an emergency, before entering a 
tenant's unit and enter only at reasonable times. 

     The law provides that if the landlord enters in violation 
of this provision, makes a lawful entry in an unreasonable 
manner, or makes repeated demands for entry whch have the effect 
of harrassing the tenant, then the tenant may recover actual 
damages and obtain injunctive relief, as well as attorney's fees 
and court costs, and terminate the rental agreement.

     I will be pleased to arrange with you, or any of your 
staff or employees, times for entry into my unit.  Please feel 
free to contact me to set up such appointments.  I hope that you
will abide by this request and that we can establish a more 
effective working relationship.
 
                         Sincerely,

                         ______________________
