Jst2fst Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 **Can't find the legal section for this to go in and it fits both legal and firearms. Move if needed. OK so when I moved into my new apartment they had a CCW clause that limits where they are off limits office laundry room and any common area including hallways of the buildings. I'm fine with the office and laundry room but it makes it impossible for me to leave my apartment with my handgun. My only problem I have is that I live in an apartment building that has four apartments and the "common" area in the lease says hallways are a no carry zone or face eviction. My hallway is like ten feet from my door to the outside door.What I have a problem with is that they make it impossible for me to carry from my apartment to my vehicles and back to my apartment. I've spoken to some police officers and they said that their pretty sure that they can't do that as I have no other way of bring my handgun outside of my apartment. They way they want it transported is how ohio has it if you don't have a CCW. I was told my the officer to contact the NRA and they might be able to help me I'm trying to find a local chapter that can do so as well asking OR. I've also been checking the Ohio tenant laws as well the ORC to see if this is legal. I know I signed a lease and am bound to some extent but this is the first I've ever herd of this. I even called the CCW Office and they told me to lawyer up. I need some help on this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8mmDale Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Try to call Buckeye Firearms Association. I bet a letter from them might get the lease changed on your apartment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Ok so carry it mag out in a pouch/holster out side then put mag in and go about your day. That would be transporting a firearm not carrying it? or just go deep concealment and don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Walk out your back door, and wear a path through their grass. If my patio door had a key I'd have no problem doing this. Try to call Buckeye Firearms Association. I bet a letter from them might get the lease changed on your apartment.I'll try and give them a call tomorrow on my break. ThanksOk so carry it mag out in a pouch/holster out side then put mag in and go about your day.

jporter12 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Does it say concealed firearms specifically? If not, walk out with it in plain sight, then conceal it. Open carry is legal in Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzer Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2923.126section ©(3) (b) A landlord may not prohibit or restrict a tenant who is a licensee and who on or after the effective date of this amendment enters into a rental agreement with the landlord for the use of residential premises, and the tenant’s guest while the tenant is present, from lawfully carrying or possessing a handgun on those residential premises.Sounds pretty promising to me.That being said, I am not a lawyer, and only they can tell you exactly how the law applies in your situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat0403 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 They can restrict it in the office and common areas (coffee shop, pool, gym) but they cannot restrict it in in buildings where tenants live. Even though it states it in the contract, they still must have the appropriate signage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Why do you, and a bunch if others, do this over thinking thing??? Who cares its concealed so it never happened they don't know it's there so its pointless to worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 I wouldn't print anything or say anything more about it to anyone by doing that your just going to draw unnecessary attention to yourself and cause them to watch your every move. The terms of the lease are illegal so if they ever tried to evict you then you just fight it but unless that happens concealed means concealed and leave it at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be transporting a firearm not carrying it? or just go deep concealment and don't worry about it.If the mag is loaded and the gun and mag are within reach then the gun is "loaded" WRT transport laws. Mag must be unloaded, technically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Not something I would waste thought cycles on. I certainly wouldn't kick up a stink lest you be evicted anyway (or get put on double-secret-probation where they will evict you for the slightest infraction of the lease, such as a noise complaint or parking with one tire on the line)They could write "You must ride a bison down the corridor to and from your apartment every day" if they want, and you coudl sign it, but I seriously doubt a court would enforce it.So comply with the orders that are lawful and reasonable (office, laundry room) but *MY OPINION* is that barring the corridors is overreaching, unreasonable and unenforceable.
