An Ohio Sublease Agreement lets a tenant rent out part or all of their rental to someone else (a subtenant) while still being responsible under the original lease. It requires landlord approval if the lease doesn’t allow subletting.

Right to Sublet

In Ohio, there are no specific subletting laws. It depends on your lease. If subletting isn’t allowed, you must get your landlord’s written permission.

Short-Term Lodgings Tax

In Ohio, short-term rentals are stays of less than 30 days and are taxed by the state, county, and city. Tax rates vary by location.

Ohio short-term rental taxes include the following:

  • 5.75% state sales tax
  • Varying county/local sales tax
  • Local lodging tax (amount depends on the area)
