I would count the key in that mix. The thing is, 200 Public Square and Key Tower were just so big that they encompassed about 3-4 buildings that Cincy and Columbus were building at that time. I would not look at the quantity of building but the space too. In Cleveland, Key is 70 Stories and 200 Public Square is another 50. If you split them in half, you have 4 30 story buildings filling out the Skyline so Cleveland was quite active too during that time.

^ Growing up we saw the P&G towers, Chiquita, Center 600 Vine, Huntington Building, URS Center, Scripts Center, Enquirer Building, Atrium 1 &2, First Financial (Chemed) Center, US Bank Building, and Hyatt Hotel all built from 83-91. Add to that the Macy's Building, Millennium Tower, PNC Center and the entire Skyline was built in from the late 70s to 90. I don't think we will see that level of office construction anywhere again because of technology.

I would file the eviction against the boyfriend too. He is responsible for bringing her to the house and also inviting her back to party. You do not want her on the property. She is not on the lease and is a trespasser from your vantage point. He is going to keep inviting her back to hook up with her until he finds someone else regardless of whether or not she lives there. You DO NOT want her on the property. What we typically do is give both parties a 3 day notice. Let the boyfriend know that he can stay so long as she does not come over anymore. She cannot visit him or hang out with him on the property. IF he has her over, then he will be kicked out. As for the girlfriend, give her a notice that she is no longer allowed on the premises. If she is on the property (other than his room to which he is invited) she will be deemed a trespasser and subject to arrest. Give a copy of this letter to the local police station so they have notice and she has notice of the change in her status. Therefore, if you see her on your porch or hanging out in the living room, you can have her removed (If she is in his room, she is deemed a visitor which is why you put pressure on him too). Point being, make sure they know you mean business or else they will both continue playing this game with you. He may be a good guy, but he is easily manipulated by the power of the p***y.

If they don't get the team, yes

Since interest rates are rising quicker than anticipated, I tend to think the financing may be more difficult to come from than what was anticipated a year ago. Apartment lenders are tightening on new developments nationwide so that may have something to do with this. Unfortunately, I feel we are looking at a long delay on this project given the changing financing conditions.

Cranley cant fire him, he needs council to approve of the termination which council is balking at. Firing him with 8 months severance still allows him to sue for more. Getting him to sign and take additional money would preclude him from suing for additional compensation. what council did yesterday was just a sham. Will he take the 8 months probably not. Can they negotiate something less than 400k, lets hope.

Jake freefourur[/member] is right, you will need to still give her a 3 day notice to get her out and have to go through the normal eviction process even though she does not have a written lease. If I were you, I would go to courtclerk.org and to the muni forms section and print off the 3 day notice to vacate the premises and post it on her door TODAY. This way the 3 day period can start to toll. Even if she does not leave in 3 days or it takes you a few extra days to talk to the court about proceeding with the formal eviction. This will save you time to start the 3 day process today. You do not have to file the eviction on the 4th day, but you must have the 72 hour window go by before you file the eviction. That is why you post it on her door today.

Even if she moves out, if she has a job, I would send her to collections to try and collect the back rent. Often it is a dead end but the calls will bug her for a while.

Or probably not. He has already turned this down, which is going to cause more strife in the city and probably cost much more in the long run. I don't think Cranley came out with the $400k figure on the outset and given that they had agreed in principle to that number, what incentive does the city manager have to take less or significantly less. He does not give a damn about the city, he will take job elsewhere and do the exact same thing

Cranley may be a bully, but Young as an elected official needs to find a way to work things out. Allowing personal animosity to get in the way is malfeasance and you are not qualified to hold an elected position if you allow things to get personal.

Wendall Young is a problem. He is just like Charlie Winburn was. This whole bribe nonsense is a waste of time and resources and really is a breach of his fiduciary duty to represent his constituents. All this amounts to is a personal pissing match he is in with Cranley where he does not want to give in to anything with the mayor because of his own personal grudge. Time for him to grow up

They just need to go to Newport and be done with the whole West End Charade. Cincinnati lost out because they were too stupid to get out of their own way. Let's not lose out for the whole region because of this pettiness.

Those markets that appeal to millenials are also most affordable for the most part. One thing that is starting to show is that no longer is it required to live on the coasts to be near top flight jobs as there is a lot that can be done remotely and much more telecommuting work. Therefore, you will be seeing a lot more mobile younger people who do not necessarily want to be tied down to a big coastal city and find a better more affordable quality of life as they get older. I had a conversation with an exec in his mid-30s the other month. He moved to Cincinnati from Chicago 3 years ago and said he never thought you could grow a business to a high level without having the contacts in a secondary market (outside of Chicago, NYC, LA, SF, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, DC, Philly, Boston or Seattle) now he sees that this is not only possible but actually easier to do with a much better quality of life in a city like Cincinnati or Cleveland than it is in Chicago or NY

I have seen a lot of appeals in the past. Some with strong evidence and some with rather dubious evidence of support. In general Hamilton county is pretty amenable to giving people who appeal some type of break so it is always worth while to appeal in my opinion, even when your evidence is rather weak. Now in Montgomery County, I would not typically advise this because their Auditor is a bit of a prick, but Hamilton County is generally pretty friendly.

Everything is negotiable. It is always good to have a discussion with him as to anything that may be done or if there are any accommodations that can be made on your behalf. For example, if you lived in a 4 unit apartment, I would negotiate with him to not show your unit on weekends. I would maybe re-up for another year lease (which makes the numbers look good for the incoming owner) or offer to pay an extra fee not to be disturbed on weekends (not saying this is a good idea and as a landlord I would be hesitant to agree to this, but you can always ask). You can negotiate anything, just understand his motivations and make sure he understands your motivations. We try and accommodate our tenants as much as possible hopefully, if he understands your motivations and reasoning behind why you don't want to be disturbed he can accommodate you too. If you live in a single family house, where a new buyer will likely want to live in the unit for themselves, you could negotiate an early term of your lease (it would be to his advantage to have you leave once ownership changes possession in that case. Point being, there are a lot of things you can do and suggest to get what you want, you have to be creative sometimes and get him to see how that creativity can benefit him, but it can be done.

Legal Aid is a good tenants rights group but given that you live in University Heights, you probably do not fit the type of client they would represent. I am old friends with their executive director (in the Cleveland Office) and they do a great job, but again, you will probably (just assuming) not fit the income threshold to be their client. Given the facts you presented in your earlier post, it is going to be difficult for you to find a good tenant rights attorney because with all due respect, in my own legal opinion as an attorney who does a decent amount in the landlord/tenant area, you do not have a very strong case. Attorney's bill out on time and they are not going to spend their time on a case they perceive to be a lost cause (ethically, they can get in trouble if they fight for frivolous cases that have little chance of success). If you go the contingent route, I don't think a contingency firm would want this case (low chance of success and low dollar value). If you hire an attorney, again you are going to run into the same issue. Even though they are paid by the hour, given the low likelihood of success (based on the facts you presented above, if there are other facts your chance of success could be different) and the fact that your potential damages if you win are going to be fairly small (estimating a couple thousand dollars at most since your only cause of action would be breach of contract) it is really just not economical to find a lawyer to take your case or want to take your case. Maybe if you have a friend who is a lawyer or a friend who is a law student, it may be worth your while to write a demand letter to the landlord to try and scare him into not showing the place. While it will have the letterhead of an attorney on it, it really would not prevent him from doing anything since he probably knows the law and what his duties and obligations are (His wife is a lawyer after all). Outside of that, given the limited likelihood of success here, you would just be wasting your money.

^ Usually the new owners are aware of the situation when they buy and if they are buying a single family that they want to live in, they typically factor this into the price on the outset. If an investor buys it, they will probably hope to keep the tenant there. If a person looking for a single family buys it, they will most likely wait their time instead of trying to invest additional money in an eviction case they would likely lose

Chances are, if he gets the property under contract in the next few weeks, it is not closing until May. You will have to make the house available for appraisals and home inspections and the like too. You will have zero control over this schedule as he is often going to be under time constraints from the sales contract to get these things done so be ready to make the best of it. He is not going to evict you, not does he have any incentive to do so. Whoever buys the property, that will be their problem to deal with. Now, if they want it as a rental or like you and want to keep you, they will work to do so and you can maybe negotiate something to your terms or other rental concessions to stick around. If it is a single family house and they want to live in it (which I know is often the case in UH), then they have to wait for the lease to expire for you to leave. However, based on the time left in your lease, you will be likely dealing with a new landlord once your lease expires.

As long as he sticks to the terms of the lease and provides you reasonable notice (especially within the terms of the lease) you do not have much of a case for him to show the house. You may not like it, but he is still complying with the lease and fully within his rights. He has not broken your lease and unless you can point to other areas that he violated the lease, you really don't have a legal leg to stand on here. We run into this all the time in apartments where the tenant does not want people coming through their unit while they live there whereby we have to point to their signed lease and the provision that allows us to come through with 24 hour notice. We certainly try to be accommodating around times that will not work for them and work to their schedules, which I hope your landlord will do for you, but there are times where the tenant wants to be extremely difficult and ban all showings until they are gone and that is where we need to take control and remind them what they agreed to in the lease. (even if there is no provision in the lease, Ohio law allows landlords a reasonable right of entry on the premises regardless).

It is not just the stadium thing. I think the Black matter has a lot to do with it too. It just seems like Seelbach, Young, Sittenfeld, Denard and Landsman stand against anything the mayor wants just for the sake that Cranley is for it. It is embarrassing that a local official would want to play petty games like this. The Oakley stadium in November we had Sittenfeld, Young and Seelbach against it solely because Cranley wanted it. Same with the Harry Black thing (Remember Seelbach and Young wanted Black fired a few years back, but now when they can obstruct the deal they do). So while the council does not have a say yet, they will have a say, and you better believe they are staking their positions behind the scene using friends on the school board or Community Council as their proxies to give them cover when they obstruct the mayor on this. It is less about FC Cincinnati but more about seeing Cranley fail.

Government isn't a business. Schools aren't a business (well, charter schools are). Poor Cranley dug himself a hole and now he's going to have to give to get himself out. You can't treat people like crap for 20 years and then not expect the enemies you've made along the way to take advantage of your screw-up. And, incidentally, Cranley proved himself to be a crappy developer when his City Lights project tanked up in Price Hill. Economic Development is. Local government needs to promote it to promote growth for the region. Trying to placate everyone and allow people like Josh Spring to have his voice heard is counterproductive and it gives the city a reputation that it is not a good place to do business. Seelbach and Young are both horrible because they take their position solely on making Cranley look bad, not out of any principles they hold themselves. If the mayor is for that, then they are against it. That may be fine for Washington but it is pathetic for a local official who wants to better the region to hold themselves out like that. It just shows that they are solely in it for themselves. Landsman is a clown who seems to come off as a neophyte and just gets in the way. He tries to be conciliatory by making sure everyone is heard but offers no real constructive voice to the matter. While the soft and gentle approach may make people feel good in the short term, it is destructive and unhelpful in the long term. Dennard and Sittenfield seem to be casting themselves as the anti-Cranley too so that he can run for mayor as a progressive. It is a shame because a few years ago PG would have been championing this deal and all about it. Again, acting more in self interest than in the best interests of the city. Pathetic.

FWIW Seelbach, Young and Landsman are looking more and more like obstructionists who don't understand how to do business.

Went to a number of Pirate games in the past. It is not used all the time and seemed like when we were there, it was a big dead space most of the time. Personally, I like the Live Nation one because it integrates better with the streetscape and urban fabric. The Pittsburgh one sits out almost like a paved over parking lot and does not really draw people to the area outside of the event. It is just there. Personally, I was very underwhelmed with the activity in downtown Pittsburgh when I was last there 2 years back. I figured there would be a lot more to it.
