Syllabus

R.C. 1923.01 jurisdiction of forcible entry and detainer action R.C. 1923.02 color of title R.C. 1923.04 three-day notice to leave premises R.C. 5321.01(A) definition of tenant R.C. 5321.03(A)(4) eviction of holdover tenant R.C. 5321.17(B) 30-day notice to terminate periodic tenancy expiration of lease. The trial court did not err in granting a writ of restitution where appellant lacked color of title or other valid possessory interest the appellee bank held title to the property the underlying lease between appellant and the prior owner expired and no evidence existed of a periodic tenancy. A notice to leave premises that contained the requisite R.C. 1923.04(A) statutory language and was served by appellee bank 30 days prior to filing the forcible entry and detainer action was sufficient to invoke the trial court's jurisdiction where no written lease or periodic tenancy existed between the parties.
