Newark Advocate:
...The legislation would require landlords to inform current and potential tenants if a property falls into foreclosure. Also, renters would need three weeks’ notice of any sheriff’s sale of a home or apartment building.
Democratic Rep. Ted Celeste of suburban Columbus says tenants have largely been forgotten in the current mortgage crisis and need safeguards.
The measure passed Wednesday 53-42, with most Republicans voting no. The GOP has reservations about a provision that would convert a renter’s lease to a month-to-month agreement when a foreclosed property is sold....
The legislation will likely face stiff opposition in the Ohio Senate that is controlled by the GOP. In these tough economic times, it is good to know that Democrats care about families. The Ohio GOP----not so much.
* Finally, some good job news out of central Ohio.
