Central Ohio Property Management
Local expertise across Central Ohio, backed by full-service management and a free rental analysis. Intempus pairs a local Columbus expert with in-house technology to fill your rental fast in one of the Midwest's fastest-growing markets.
Local Experts, Not a Distant Call Center
Columbus is Ohio's largest city and state capital, the heart of Franklin County and home to Ohio State University. It is a growing tech, insurance and logistics hub: Intel is building its New Albany semiconductor plant, Nationwide anchors a deep insurance corridor downtown, and distribution centers ring the I-270 outerbelt. Pair that with one of the more affordable cost bases among major metros and you get steady population growth and strong, year-round rental demand.
Local knowledge matters in a market this broad. Rents, tenant demand and turnaround times vary street by street between the Short North, German Village, the Ohio State campus area and the suburbs of Dublin, Westerville, Gahanna and New Albany. Intempus pairs a local Columbus expert with in-house technology: an owner portal for real-time statements, online rent collection and a 24/7 maintenance line. Our fees are transparent and itemized, and careful tenant screening keeps our eviction rate under 1% on placed tenants. That is what property management Columbus Ohio owners rely on to protect returns.

What makes Columbus a place renters want to call home.
Columbus neighborhoods range from the brick-lined historic streets of German Village to the gallery-filled Short North just north of downtown. Tree-lined Clintonville and the bustling University District near The Ohio State University add options, giving renters everything from restored cottages to modern apartments across the city.
Columbus schools are served by Columbus City Schools, the state's largest district, with more than one hundred public school options plus charters. The Ohio State University, one of the country's biggest campuses, drives constant rental demand from students, staff, and researchers year-round.
Things to do in Columbus include the Franklin Park Conservatory, the Wexner Center for the Arts, and the monthly Short North Gallery Hop, plus riverfront strolls along the Scioto Mile. With a growing job market, strong sports culture, and a walkable downtown, living in Columbus offers big-city energy at a manageable cost for renters.

No. Ohio has no rent control, and state law prohibits local rent-control ordinances, so there is no statewide cap on how much you can raise rent. The amount and timing are governed by your lease, and a month-to-month tenancy generally requires 30 days written notice. This is general information, not legal advice.
