Notes for Ohio Land Leases

OSU provides a summary of different requirements based on the term of the lease:
  • Up to 1 year –  Verbal can be enforceable
  • 1-2 years – Must be in writing and signed by both parties
  • 2-3 years- Must be in writing, signed by both parties, notarized,  and recorded in the county where the land is located
  • 3 years or more- Must be in writing, signed by both parties before two witnesses, notarized, and recorded in the county where the land is located

Legal references:

O.R.C. § 5301.08 creates an exemption for land leases under 3 years from notarization and recording requirements in O.R.C. § 5301.01

ORC Hunting – Message to State Rep

Quick message to my new state rep trying to get airgun hunting legalized here for large game:

 

Good Afternoon!
Congratulations on taking office yesterday.

ORC presently does not allow for hunting deer with air guns. With smaller air guns, that makes sense from an ethical hunting standpoint (same reason, I assume, a minimum draw weight is defined for archery). But there are rather powerful air guns available — and I’d love to be able to hunt deer with something like an 50-cal AirForce Texan CF. There are other states that permit hunting big game with an air gun — and I’d encourage you to see about getting similar legislation enacted in Ohio.

Thank you for your time,
–Lisa
