Q: I have terminal lung cancer , do I have to allow landlord in to show house im renting that he wants to sell ?
Im on Keytruda ( immune therapy ) even the common cold could kill , not to mention covid19 !
A: Ohio law says a landlord can show to prospective buyers by giving reasonable notice - typically 24 hours. But the law doesn't specify a penalty for tenant if tenant refuses to let people enter. However, the landlord could then file an eviction, and the tenant would go to the eviction hearing and explain the circumstances to the judge, and the judge would decide if it is a valid excuse or not. Offer to provide photos or try to make other arrangements with the landlord.
