Q. Just took a walk on my property (OH). My neighbor chopped down a bunch of my trees and destroyed the boundary line fence

June 25, 2022

A: I agree with Attorney Jaap, but would add that a boundary line dispute if it goes to litigation will result in your neighbor paying some of the costs, and ornamental trees damages are trebled.

Q. My boyfriend walked out of our 6 yr relationship and moved out of my house. I own it. This was over 3 months ago.

A: Yes, you should evict him. He does not have a oral lease for a period of term. He is a person with no interest in the property and he can be served a three day notice and a complaint for forcible entry and detainer should be filed against him. If you call the police they will typically say it is a civil matter that should be handled through the Courts. The zoning inspector will probably be visiting your property, but that will result in a citation for a violation of local ordinances issued to the property owner.

Q. I recently signed a roofing proposal for a company to replace my garage roof in Ohio 2 days ago. Can I cancel contract?

May 18, 2022

A: Most likely the Home Solicitation Sales Act would apply, and it requires the contract to provide you with notice of your right to cancel. The contract should also provide you with a form Cancellation. Send that form in to cancel. If no notice given then you can cancel at anytime, but being within the three (3) cancellation period would be safer.
