[OH] [OH] My tenant moved in an unauthorized occupant and claims that they are legally entitled to 90 days without eviction. Is this true?

A tenant moved a woman and her kid in without telling me and they aren’t on the lease, so in my mind it’s a breach of contract for having additional people living there. But now they’re saying they have 90 days because a kid is living there.

[OH] [OH] What should I do if there are squatters living in a house I own?

I recently discovered people living in a run down house I own in Ohio. I had no prior knowledge of that and gave no approval for them to do so. The local police told me that I need to file for eviction in the courts. I do not know what eForm eviction form to use or how to alter it. They have no lease and pay no rent. As a matter of fact I do not know their names.
