Have a three-day notice ready for delivery in Central Ohio? Send it to us with the property address, unit number, and deadline. We’ll handle delivery and provide a record of the attempt or posting.
Prepare the Notice Before Ordering Delivery
R.C. 1923.04 covers prefiling notices to leave the premises, delivery methods, required residential language, and exceptions. Have your attorney confirm the wording, recipients, permitted delivery method, and filing timetable before you order. Send us the final notice exactly as it should be delivered.
What a Useful Delivery Record Contains
- The full property address and unit number.
- The date, time, delivery method, and relevant observations.
- Close-up and wider photographs when posting is performed.
- A return or affidavit describing what the server actually did.
Posting photos should show the notice up close and its placement at the property. The date, time, and server’s notes tie those images to the delivery record.
Send Clear Instructions for Every Property
For multiple notices, label each file with the property and unit. Include access information, an on-call contact, and separate delivery and return deadlines. Tell us about urgent requests before uploading so we can confirm availability and pricing.
Once an eviction case is filed, summons service is a separate assignment governed by R.C. 1923.06. Do not treat delivery of the prefiling notice as service of the court summons.

R.C. 1923.04 permits leaving the notice at the tenant’s usual place of abode or the premises, as well as personal delivery or certified mail with return receipt requested, subject to its exceptions. Give us the final notice and the delivery method your attorney selected. This prefiling notice is different from serving an eviction summons.
R.C. 1923.04 requires a conspicuous warning that the tenant is being asked to leave, that an eviction action may follow, and that legal assistance is recommended if the tenant is unsure of their rights. Use the complete statutory wording in an appropriate notice form; a delivery record cannot fix missing required language.
Do not assume that three calendar days gives you the correct filing date. Published court guidance differs on weekend and holiday counting. Have counsel apply the governing rules and your filing court’s instructions to the actual delivery date. We document delivery; we do not calculate or approve the legal filing deadline.
No. A notice is not an eviction order. Ohio law prohibits using a lockout, utility shutoff or other unlawful self-help to recover possession of residential premises. The landlord must follow the court process. See R.C. 5321.15.
Not necessarily. The reason for termination, the lease, subsidized housing or other applicable law may require additional notice or steps. Have counsel select the right notice before delivery. Our job is to deliver and document the completed notice you provide.
