Black’s Law Dictionary defines “Forcible Entry and Detainer” as: “2. A legal proceeding for regaining possession of real property from someone who has wrongfully taken, or refused to surrender, possession.”
In Ohio, a Forcible Entry and Detainer action is the formal name for an eviction.
The rules for eviction are different for Residential Tenants, Commercial Tenants, Condominium Tenants, Manufactured Home Tenants, and Section 8 tenants.
