Eviction Notice Ohio does a three day notice include weekends?

The way I see it, the three day notice is outside jurisdiction or pre jurisdiction, therefore weekends count.

5321 clearly states 3 DAYS with no exceptions.....

Any opinions on this?

Yep, the 3 days really means nothing except now you get to pursue a formal court eviction.

Totally agree, the question is, can the 3 days include SUNDAY. I had the discussion with someone whom said that Sundays are not counted in the three days. My point is, the 3 day notice is not part of the judicial process yet, just a requirement. OH LL tenant law clearly says 'AT LEAST 3 DAYS'. It does not say except Saturday, Sunday Holidays etc..... so, my position is that on the face, 3 days is just that.... 3 days and any 3 days count.

I've had to evict a deadbeat tenant before. 3 days notice is three WORKING days. Weekends and holidays don't count.

I'm in parma ohio fyi. It must be 3 working days.

I read ya! but where in 5301 does it SAY IT! CR (service) has it in there, but thats at the point the court has jurisdiction! during the 3 day notice period, the court has yet to have jurisdiction...... Again, I read ya, I have heard it too.... just where is it supported in ORC?

Is court in session weekends? Holidays? No. So it just stands to reason that said days wouldn't be included.

1923.04 speaks of 3 day notice.... what am i missing here?

it all sounds good and reasonable.... let me twist this a little.... Does your mortgage charge you for weekends and holidays? do they live there weekends and holidays? can you rent it weekends to someone else?, or perhaps the court is paying weekend rent...? Where is 1923 or 5321 does it SAY IT. Ohio CR speaks of this but it is for service of COMPLAINTS and actions whereas the court has jurisdiction. Oh LL Tenant law specifically speaks of this 1923.04 but I have read 1923.04 and find that there are no exceptions written. Thanks for reading....

You can always run it by a LL/tenant attorney in your area & see what he/she says.

Thank you for your reply.... while not being difficult, and I play the game pursuant to each set of court rules, I still think there is adlib in their methods. I still have yet to read the law where it requires for me to omit holidays, sundays etc. Again, sound good. Cases are not won on this principal. If you have law, you pound on the law. If you have fact, you pound on the fact, if you have neither, you pound on the desk.

Where in here does it say Sundays dont count?????????????????? or what am I missing.

Another question... does a three day have to be signed???????????????

I was just hoping to get perhaps other interested people looking in this as well. Not a big deal, just looking for opinion based on law. May be a question for the 12th!

Lol you can't be real can you?

Its just the principal of it. I have seen someone jailed or not over smaller issues and definitions thereof.
