• Legal Compliance: It’s important to reference the relevant sections of the Ohio Revised Code that govern lease terminations, ensuring legal compliance.
• Method of Delivery: The termination letter should be prepared in writing and delivered in a manner that can be documented, such as through certified mail or personal delivery with acknowledgment.
• Content Requirements: The letter must clearly state the intention to terminate the lease, include the specific termination date, and cite the applicable notice period as per Ohio law.
