A Hamilton County judge says Cincinnati’s pay-to-stay ordinance should be enforced, but that doesn’t necessarily mean magistrates will start enforcing it after refusing for seven months.

Judge Dwane Mallory ruled the pay-to-say is constitutional and should be enforced by the Hamilton County Court.

Cincinnati Council passed pay-to-stay last year, which is supposed to force a landlord to stop a nonpayment eviction if the tenant can pay all past due rent and fees. But Hamilton County magistrates announced their decision not to enforce it on the day it went into effect in December, saying they think the local ordinance conflicts with state law.
