Under the state's asset forfeiture laws, Ohio Revised Code 2981.01, police have the right to seize property or assets that are alleged to have been earned by illegal activities. These properties and assets include: Your home, land, rental property, vacation home, or commercial property.
This is usually where the tenant has breached a condition of the lease or has breached a covenant. The forfeiture is usually undertaken by a Bailiff (Certificated Enforcement Agent) who enters the property peaceably and takes vacant possession of the property.
Forfeiture generally occurs where one party exercises a legal right that results in a second party forfeiting, or losing, a right or interest. In some cases, where the right or interest has been lost due to unconscientious conduct, equity can provide a remedy in the form of relief against forfeiture.
There are three types of forfeiture under federal law: criminal forfeiture, civil judicial forfeiture, and administrative forfeiture.
