Ohio HB 430 (2022) — preempts local SOI ordinances

Can a landlord refuse Section 8 in Perry County?

Yes. Ohio law blocks local governments from requiring voucher acceptance, so landlords in Perry County can legally decline Section 8 applicants. Listing on a voucher-friendly marketplace is the fastest way to find the landlords who do accept.

Ohio HB 430 (2022) — preempts local SOI ordinances

Ohio has no source-of-income protection. HB 430 (2022) preempts new local SOI ordinances, and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (2024) documented widespread SOI discrimination in Cleveland. Cleveland Heights, South Euclid, and University Heights each passed local ordinances before HB 430 and continue to enforce them, but post-HB-430 legal standing is uncertain.
