Plaintiffs in short-term rental lawsuit ask judge to sanction defendant company

LOGAN — After 20 homeowners in a Green Township housing subdivision filed a lawsuit against a Florida company for buying a home there and turning it into a short-term rental, the company responded with a countersuit, alleging that the plaintiffs were interfering with its attempts to sell the property. Now the plaintiffs from Brad-Mer Acres have fired back with a motion asking a judge to dismiss the counterclaim, and to sanction the defendant company for “frivolous conduct.” In filing the countersuit, the motion alleges, defendant Palm Side Paradise LLC (PSP) is trying to “bully” the homeowners. “Because the counterclaim is not warranted under existing law and serves only to increase the cost of this litigation, Plaintiffs also request a hearing on sanctions,” the motion states. In August 2024 PSP bought a five-bedroom house in the subdivision, turned it into a short-term rental (STR) for up to 16 guests, and began marketing it on websites such as Airbnb.com and VRBO.com. In response, 10 residents of the subdivision filed a lawsuit in Hocking County Common Pleas Court, in which they argued that using the house as an STR violates Brad-Mer’s restrictive covenants. They also claimed that the rental was creating a nuisance.

New Ohio public assistance verification program arrives in Portage

The Ohio Department of Job & Family Services is using a new system to verify income and employment for those applying for public assistance. When Portage County residents apply for programs such as Medicaid, SNAP (food assistance), Ohio Works First,or certain child support services, Portage County JFS must verify employment and income information to determineeligibility. Until June 30, county agencies across Ohio used The Work Number, an Equifax employment verification service, to access payroll information from participating employers. Ohio's contract with that service has expired, and counties now use the Ohio NextGen360 Verification Platform to verify employment and income information. Although The Work Number remains an active service, county agencies no longer have access to it for public assistance eligibility determinations. As a result, some employers may receive requests directly from Portage County Job & Family Services to verify employee income. The Ohio NextGen360 Verification Platform allows income verification through: Employee-Authorized Payroll Access: Applicants may securely connect their payroll account to the verification platform, allowing authorized income information to be shared electronically. Experian Payroll Verification If an employer reports payroll information through Experian, income information may be available through that source. Direct Employer Verification: When electronic verification is unavailable, Portage
