Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

1031 Like-Kind Exchanges in Ohio

Ohio 1031 like-kind exchanges defer capital gains tax on real-estate sales when proceeds reinvest in similar property — strict 45/180-day deadlines + qualified intermediary required.

Adverse Possession in Ohio

Ohio adverse possession requires 21 years of continuous, open, hostile, exclusive, and notorious possession.

Boundary Disputes in Ohio

Ohio property boundary disputes are resolved through surveys, deeds, adverse possession, acquiescence, or boundary-line agreements — but they're often more about neighbors than law.

Construction Defect Claims in Ohio

Ohio construction defect claims are governed by statutes of repose (typically 6-15 years from substantial completion), pre-suit notice requirements, and warranty rules — but homeowners have real remedies if they act quickly.

Earnest Money Deposits in Ohio

Ohio earnest money deposits: 1-3% typical. The deposit shows good faith and gives the buyer skin in the game; held in escrow until closing or contract termination.

Easements in Ohio

Ohio easements give one party the right to use another's land for a specific purpose — utilities, access, drainage, conservation. Created by deed, prescription, necessity, or implication.

Fair Housing in Ohio

Ohio fair housing law — federal Fair Housing Act + state law — protects against discrimination in renting + buying based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, familial status, and (state-dependent) sexual orientation, source of income, etc.

Foreclosure Defense in Ohio

Ohio foreclosure: Judicial. Typical timeline: 180-220 days.

HOA Disputes in Ohio

Ohio HOAs are governed by recorded covenants/declarations and Ohio Condominium Property Act . Disputes commonly involve assessments, architectural-control decisions, rule enforcement, and board governance.

Homestead Exemptions in Ohio

Ohio has TWO different homestead exemptions: one for property taxes and a separate one that protects equity from creditors.

Landlord-Tenant Eviction in Ohio

Ohio eviction (non-payment): 3-day notice to vacate (the famous "3-day notice"). Typical timeline: 30-45 days. Middle of the road posture overall.

Lis Pendens (Notice of Pending Action) in Ohio

Ohio lis pendens — recorded notice of pending litigation affecting real property — clouds title and stops sales until resolved. Powerful but limited to specific claims about the property itself.
