The overwhelming majority of residences, both houses and apartments, Springfield were built before 1990 and there has been very little new housing built since then. In that Springfield’s population has steadily though rapidly declined between 2000 and 2008, the existing housing is in fact more than is needed, so new residents should have little difficulty finding a decent apartment. About three-fifths residents rent, though many people rent houses as opposed to apartments. Among apartments, virtually all of them are one bedrooms that go for $600 or less per month.

Before renting an apartment in Ohio it is important to understand that there are few mandated tenant protections in state law, so simple tenant protections that may be common elsewhere may not apply. For example, most states require all leases to contain certain points of information before it is valid, but this is not the case in Ohio. Indeed, there is no need for a written lease at all under Ohio law and verbal agreements are considered fully legitimate. Before signing a lease, be sure that it addresses any and every point that may potentially become and issue in the future.
