Renting in Columbus, Ohio

Columbus has more renters than owners, at about 56% of occupied homes, per the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey, and 44% of its housing is single-family detached. Half the homes were built before 1981. Ohio law requires owners of rental property in larger counties, Franklin County included, to file with the county auditor. It's a one-time filing with no fee, updated within 60 days of a change, and owners who live outside Ohio must name an Ohio agent. The median renter household pays $1,295 a month including utilities, a figure that includes apartments.
