CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Cincinnati City Councilman Greg Landsman and other leaders Friday announced new eviction measures in the wake of Hamilton County’s Municipal Court’s decision to lift the national eviction moratorium.
“The measures come in the form of two ordinances that aim to ensure landlords, tenants, and community partners have the time they need to leverage the nearly $60 million in rental assistance funding Hamilton County is expected to receive,” the release states.

The measures come in the form of two ordinances that aim to ensure landlords and tenants have time to utilize roughly $60 million in rental assistance funding Hamilton County is expected to receive.
The first measure, a pay to stay ordinance, would prevent landlords from evicting tenants if they have the ability to pay rent plus late fees by the time of their eviction hearing. The second measure would be a temporary moratorium to evictions for non-payment in the city of Cincinnati, which would expire when Governor Mike DeWine s emergency declaration is lifted.
Councilman Greg Landsman says rental assistance funds would go to landlords and they would have to work with tenants to resolve the financial issues.
On April 7, 2001, according to testimony in Hamilton County Municipal Court:
Two off-duty Cincinnati Police officers working late-night security at the Warehouse bar, 1313 Vine St., spotted 19-year-old Timothy Thomas on the street. They knew he was wanted on 14 outstanding warrants, most were traffic offenses. Thomas recognized one of the officers and ran.
“I’m chasing a Black man, about 6 feet tall, wearing a red bandana and an Indy 500 jacket, Officer David Damico radioed a dispatcher.
A dozen officers joined the chase down streets and alleys. Officer Stephen Roach, driving south on Republic Street, saw Thomas jumping a fence. He ran from his squad car and confronted Thomas in an alley behind 1224 Republic.
