I know state to state laws differ from each other. Just need to find out what is legal and what is not.

The house is owned by my step-mom & father. The eviction notice appeared after having a arguement about a weeks past due rent. We have a 3 year old that is disabled & handicapped, a 10 year old & another baby on the way. And we don't make much money. What can we do to stall the eviction process or get more time to live in the house untill we can financally be able to move??

Sure. It's just the first step, called a Notice to Quit. If you comply with the notice, it's all over with without going to court or anything else. It'll generally keep your credit clean since you won't have any judgements on it.
You'll have to decide if you want to fight it or not. If you don't comply with the Notice to Quit, the landlord's next step is to file the evicition case in court. If you want to fight it, you'll have to answer the suit and appear in court. Don't just show up on the day, make SURE that you file your response to the lawsuit by the deadline in the paperwork you receive from the court.
Based upon your additional details you have larger issues to deal with if your Father is threatening to evict you. In any event, the only way to kill the eviction process is to get current on your rent and stay there. Paying for a roof over your head should be your first priority along with food. All other creditors take a back seat to that -- credit cards, phone, cable TV, medical, etc.

The question should be can you use a computer to print out an eviction notice - yes of course the landlord can.
Is it legal, that depends on the reason for the eviction, and what was written in the notice - not what they used to generate it.
Contact a lawyer or legal aid to have it reviewed and get an opinion, they will also give you an idea of your options.
Good luck

Hi,
OK I get to blast you on this one. Why are you putting your financial problems on to your Landlord? Why are you making this their problem? You made the kids, now step up to the plate and do something about the situation you created. That means you either take on another job, or rent a place you can really afford. It's really that simple. Stop stealing from your Landlord, because that's exactly what you are doing. Yes, I'm calling you a thief. Go look in the mirror, and a thief will be looking right back at you. Get some morals and ethics and stop mooching of others. For Pete sake this is America...get a better paying job! And stop using your child as an excuse to screw other people.

Yes, I do it all the time, along with 3 Day Pay Rent or Quit, 14/30 letters, etc., etc., etc.
He would need evidence of delivery, but if he handled it to you, you'd perjure yourself if you denied it.
My trick is to print several copies, post them at all the entrances, keep one for thier file, and take pictures of all the posted notices.
Works like a charm.

Actually it can be written on a napkin with crayon....eviction notices are just that...a notice that an eviction is about to commence...court docs will come soon.

Write an e-mail to the Ohio State Bar Association & ask.

I dont think so. I am pretty sure they have to get a court ordered eviction notice.
