Most states require certain information to be presented in lease in order to make it binding, but that is not the case in Ohio. Renters that are new to Mansfield, or Ohio in general, should familiarize themselves with the landlord's responsibilities spelled out in state law (found at O.R.C. 5321.04) and ensure that any lease they sign includes these obligations. Failure to do so can result in the renter getting in trouble should a dispute arise. Ohio leases can say almost anything, so be sure that our lease accurately reflects your understanding of the agreement.
