## Text

November 4, 1974 Senate Bill 103 - 110th General Assembly (A) If a landlord brings an action for the release of rent deposited with a clerk of court, the court may, during the pendency of the action, upon application of the landlord, release part of the rent on deposit for payment of the periodic interest on a mortgage on the premises, the periodic principal payments on a mortgage on the premises, the insurance premiums for the premises, real estate taxes on the premises, utility services, repairs, and other customary and usual costs of operating the premises as a rental unit. (B) In determining whether to release rent for the payments described in division (A) of this section, the court shall consider the amount of rent the landlord receives from other rental units in the buildings of which the residential premises are a part, the cost of operating those units, and the costs which may be required to remedy the condition contained in the notice given pursuant to division (A) of section 5321.07 of the Revised Code.
