Q: Can you still get evicted ? No matter what the situation is. During the virus out break? In wooster ohio
A: Evictions can still be filed with the court, but eviction hearings and many other court activities are currently suspended in OH. When courts re-open, the hearings will resume, and you could be evicted then. An eviction is a permanent court record that can make it difficult for you to rent from a landlord who checks the records, even if it is later dismissed. So talk to landlord and try to avoid an eviction being filed.
A:
Yes.
The Governor requested that there be a moratorium on such filings. In other words, the Governor asked Landlords not to file evictions. The Ohio Supreme Court also tolled all filing deadlines during the emergency lock down. However, neither of these two actions prohibit evictions from being filed.
Each Court has authority to determine what hearings will go forward. Many courts have continued all civil hearings for 30 to 60 days, but you need to check with the Court in your area.
While it is unlikely that an eviction would take place, it is still possible.
