Rent Control

Rent Control in Ohio

Ohio does not currently impose rent control on mobile home park lot rents. Operators must still follow Manufactured Homes Act (ORC Chapter 4781) notice requirements and lease provisions on every increase.

Eviction Process

Eviction Process in Ohio

Mobile home park evictions in Ohio typically take longer than apartment evictions because the resident often owns the home. This is the step-by-step process under Manufactured Homes Act (ORC Chapter 4781), with notice periods, court timelines, and operator best practices.

Lease Law

Lease Law in Ohio

Lease requirements for mobile home parks in Ohio go beyond standard residential lease language. Manufactured Homes Act (ORC Chapter 4781) imposes MHP-specific provisions that don't apply to apartments. This guide covers the disclosures, notice formats, and clauses operators in Ohio should include.

Market Data

Market Data in Ohio

The Census counts about 183,383 mobile homes in Ohio, 3.5% of the state's housing and 17th among the 50 states. About 111,425 are owner-occupied and 40,035 are rented.

Park Valuation

Park Valuation in Ohio

Parks in Ohio are valued like parks everywhere: net operating income divided by a cap rate. What changes by state is the rent rule. Ohio sets no statewide cap on lot rent.
