HR 427 Ohio House · 136th Legislature (2025-2026)

Express intention to affirm an Ohio Tenants' Bill of Rights

This bill is a symbolic resolution that expresses the Ohio House of Representatives' intent to affirm a set of tenant rights already protected by existing state laws. It outlines seven specific protections, including fair application processes, clear lease terms, freedom from discrimination, safe housing conditions, reasonable rent, the right to organize, and safeguards against unfair evictions. By restating these legal standards in plain language, the measure aims to highlight the state's commitment to fair housing practices. The resolution does not create new laws or change current regulations but serves to publicly acknowledge and support the rights tenants already possess under Ohio Revised Code.
