Syllabus

EVICTION — FORCIBLE-ENTRY-AND-DETAINER — R.C. 1923.06(H)(1) — CONTEMPT — CURE: In a forcible-entry-and-detainer action, the trial court erred in issuing an immediate writ of restitution without holding a trial on the merits. The trial court did not err in striking defendant tenant's jury demand where defendant failed to pay the required bond. The trial court abused its discretion in failing to afford defendant tenant an opportunity to purge her contempt for nonpayment of the required bond.
