According to the cost of living index rankings for December 2009, Parma scored 79.4, while the national average is 100, meaning that Parma has a fairly low cost of living. Nevertheless, the city is not overly poor either, with only six percent of residents living below the official poverty line. Roughly three quarters of residents own their own homes, and of the homes that are rent, the majority of them go for $600 or less per month. Most of the city’s housing today, including its apartments, was built between 1950 and 1989 and there has been very little new housing built since 1990. This makes sense in view of the fact that Parma ranked as number twelve on the list of cities with declining populations between 2000 and 2008 and other the those still living there, a majority are elderly.

Ohio state law is weighted in favor of landlords over tenants, so it is important for a tenant to carefully read a lease before signing it. There are no state laws declaring what must be included in a lease in order to make it valid and very little in the way of tenant protections. Be sure before you sign a lease that it duration is clearly spelled out, that the due date for the rent (and any related grace period) is documented, and that the lease clearly spells out the policy regarding fees and utilities. None of this information has to be contained in a lease under Ohio law, so it is very easy for unscrupulous landlords to trick their tenants into a bad situation.
