ALLEN COUNTY, OH (WLIO) - The West Ohio Community Action Partnership is wanting to get the word out that they can help with many landlord tenant situations.
They offer free fair housing services for people in Lima, Allen, and Mercer Counties. Services include receiving complaints, providing information, training, and educational materials along with in person mediation between the landlord and tenant. The most frequent complaint that they hear is about property maintenance.
Vance Cuthrell Housing Coordinator WOCAP says, “I’m just helping mediate between the landlord and the tenant as far as finding out who’s responsible for what damage to the property. And also just reaching out to tenants and landlords about agreements on rent, leases, and things like that.”
They do have a downloadable brochure on their website that covers tenant landlord rights and responsibilities under the Ohio Law. You can also call 419-227-2586 with questions.
