If you own residential real estate and you don't reside in the property AND you are  renting the property to someone, this law does apply to you and you should file a rental registration.

Generally speaking, if you own property, don’t live in it and receive compensation from others
who do live in it – there is a good chance HB 294 applies to you and you should read and file
the enclosed Lucas County Rental Registration Form. If you are not certain – you should consult
your attorney or contact our office.
