While the state supreme court has offered guidance suggesting local courts in Ohio halt evictions, and the governor has asked landlords not to evict, there is no moratorium. Your best bet, if you can't pay rent, is try and work out an arrangement with your landlord. Contact the local housing authority that serves Melrose or your county seat for advice or assistance with finding other resources.
