Ohio Rev. Code § 1923 § 1923.11
Entry and judgment.
Operative Text
(A) The court shall enter the verdict rendered by a jury under section 1923.10 of the Revised Code upon the docket, and render judgment in the action as if the facts, authorizing the finding of the verdict, had been found by the court itself. (B) If a judgment is entered under this section in favor of a plaintiff who is a park operator, the judge shall include in the judgment entry authority for the plaintiff to permit, in accordance with section 1923.12 and division (B) of section 1923.13 and division (B) of section 1923.14 of the Revised Code, the removal from the manufactured home park and potential sale, destruction, or transfer of ownership of the defendant's manufactured home, mobile home, or recreational vehicle.
Ohio Rev. Code § 1923.11 governs how courts handle verdicts and judgments in eviction proceedings. When a jury returns a verdict in a case under § 1923.10, the court records it on the docket and enters judgment as though the court itself had made the factual findings. If the judgment favors a park operator as plaintiff, the judgment entry must also authorize the operator to pursue removal of the resident's manufactured home, mobile home, or recreational vehicle from the park, with the possibility of sale, destruction, or transfer of ownership, subject to the procedures set out in related code sections.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 1923.11, park operators who prevail in a jury-tried eviction action should ensure the resulting judgment entry explicitly includes authorization for home removal and the potential disposition options—sale, destruction, or transfer of ownership—as contemplated by §§ 1923.12, 1923.13(B), and 1923.14(B). Compliant operators typically work with legal counsel to confirm the judgment entry contains all required language before taking any steps toward removal. Proceeding with removal or disposition of a resident's home without a properly worded judgment entry could expose the operator to legal challenges.

Ohio Rev. Code § 1923.11 means that if a park operator wins a jury verdict against you, the court's judgment may authorize not just your eviction but also the removal and potential sale, destruction, or transfer of your manufactured home, mobile home, or recreational vehicle. Understanding what a judgment entry authorizes—and whether it complies with the procedural requirements of the related code sections—can be important to protecting your property interests. Tenants facing this situation may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Ohio manufactured-home park law to understand available options.
