Ohio Admin. Code 1501:46-9-04 - Duty to vacate and remove personal property on expiration of rental period

(A) A person renting a campsite, getaway rental, cottage, or overnight group facility shall remove all personal property from the campsite, getaway rental, cottage, or overnight group facility prior to a time as determined by the park manager and so posted at the park office on the expiration date of the rental period. Persons failing to comply with this rule may be charged the prevailing fee for that facility for one additional night. Nothing contained herein shall nullify any penalty which may attach to a violation of this rule.

It is unlawful for any person to fail to comply with any terms or conditions prescribed in any form of rental agreement or camping permit, whether set forth in rule, a written agreement, provided to the renter through the reservation system, or posted at the park in accordance with rule 1501:46-3-01 of the Administrative Code.

If, upon the expiration of a valid rental agreement or camping permit, any person fails to vacate a campsite, getaway rental, cottage, or other overnight facility or if any person or party fails to comply when instructed to leave state property by a peace officer, authorized division personnel, or department official, such person or persons will be considered to be trespassing and may be prosecuted under applicable provisions of the Revised Code.

(B) Personal property remaining on a campsite, getaway rental, cottage, or overnight group facility after the expiration of the rental period may be removed and stored by the division. The owner may reclaim said property upon payment of a storage fee not to exceed one dollar per day plus the actual cost incurred in the removal of such property. At the end of fourteen days, said property shall be disposed of in accordance with rule 1501:46-3-17 of the Administrative Code.

(C) Any person who fails to comply with the provisions of this rule may be subject to fines, civil, or criminal penalties, may be restricted from obtaining future rentals, may have their reservation account restricted or suspended, and may be instructed to leave state property by a peace officer, authorized division personnel, or department official. If a person or party is instructed to leave state property under these provisions, any fees paid for unused portions of a rental period and remaining reservations will be forfeited.
