The state of Ohio is steeped in history and working-class American charm. Known as “The Buckeye State” due to its high concentration of buckeye trees, Ohio has been the birthplace of seven former US presidents as well as the location of the Wright Brothers’ early experiments in aviation. Aside from its major cities of Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati having played a major role in America’s industrial history, the state is also a leading agricultural hub, producing large amounts of soybeans and corn. Between its quaint, rural towns and bustling cities, Ohio is a diverse state with something to offer everyone and is a great place to retire.

Independent living communities in Ohio don’t need to be licensed or regulated since these communities don’t provide caregiver assistance. Independent living communities have rules that are similar to an apartment community. They’re required to follow all regulations covered under Ohio’s landlords and tenants code.
If an independent living community is part of a larger community offering assisted living or memory care, then those areas will need to be licensed and regulated. Licensing and inspections are done through the Ohio Department of Health.
Seniors who choose to rent an apartment in an independent living community will sign a lease. This process is similar to what you would do when moving into an apartment complex, and as such, seniors can expect to have the same renter’s rights. The landlord must do the following for the renter:[01]
One way that independent living communities differ from other apartments is that they have an age requirement. Depending on how the community is structured, residents need to be at least 55 or 62 years old. Ohio independent living communities must also comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Landlords and property managers have to provide reasonable accommodations or modifications, such as the following:[02]
