The county auditor may impose upon any person who violates this section a special assessment on the residential rental property that is the subject of the violation that is not less than fifty dollars or more than one hundred fifty dollars. Such special assessment may be appealed to the county board of revision. http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/5323.99 Ohio Revised Code Rental Registration Law: http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/5323. How to go about changing the address on tax bills: First, go to their website treasurer.cuyahogacounty.us. Second, find in the middle of the page forms or links for a change of address. Lastly, once information is submitted, the change will take approximately 24 hours to become in effect. Or http://rtsl.us/psr- will take you right to the form that you need to electronically submit.
If the landlord registers his rental property the first time, complies with ALL codes & pays his $75.00 fee, has his tenants register, has no further violations or complaints from anyone about the property and renews his registration on time, before the January 1st of the following year, and all following years, at which time he shows documentation that the tenants and other information on the original application has not changed, then the city will waive the $75.00 fee for each current year that the owner complies with the ordinances and renews his registration on time (before Jan. 1st) and will not re-inspect the property after the 3 year requirement. If the landlord fails to provide this information on time, the fee will be $75.00 up until March 31st of that year, and should the person fail to provide the information on or before March 31 of that year then the fee triples and will cost the landlord $225.00 for the registration.
Certificate of Rental Compliance:
The primary tenant must register with the Building Department before moving into the rental unit and the tenant must pay:
$50.00 per family for a one or two-family unit; (no fee change)
$50.00 per family for multi-family unit or apartments; (no fee change)
$100.00 for tenant of a commercial strip center unit. (no fee change)
If the tenant does not change, there is no renewal required for the tenant. However, if the tenant or the use of the unit changes, the Certificate of Rental Compliance becomes null and void. The owner would have to apply for a new rental registration and the new tenant would have to apply for a new Certificate of Rental Compliance. The Building Department will not require anything further from the tenant as long as they live there UNLESS the tenant or the use of the property changes, there are legitimate complaints from neighbors (grass, garbage, etc.), or the Building Department determines new violations in the future.
Certificate of Occupancy:
The Certificate of Occupancy must be obtained prior to any occupancy or transfer of title. However, at the discretion of the Building Commissioner, a “temporary transfer of title only Occupancy Permit” may be issued to sell the property with a compliance date for life safety violations. The owner must notify new tenant in writing of the tenant’s requirement to obtain a Certificate of Rental Compliance. Escrow requirements are the same except that the (seller or purchaser) must request “in writing” that the building commissioner prepare an estimate of the violations, and all fees remain the same.

I just rented a home from Realty Trust, which I love…. Glenn is AWESOME! He was very professional, fast and prompt. He went above and beyond by repairing something that wasn’t on the current work order. Not many folks offer that type of customer service these days and I appreciate it.
Carolyn Slade
What sold me on Realty Trust was their marketing system for securing new tenants. What has kept me loyal as a client has been their attention to my properties, treating them as if they were their own, and their exceptional service.
