The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “In an action for possession of residential premises based upon nonpayment of the rent or in an action for rent when the tenant or manufactured home park resident is in possession, the tenant or resident may counterclaim for any amount he may recover under the rental agreement or under Chapter 3733. or 5321. of the Revised Code. In that event, the court from time to time may order the tenant or resident to pay into court all or part of the past due rent and rent becoming due during the pendency of the action. After trial and judgment, the party to whom a net judgment is owed shall be paid first from the money paid into court, and any balance shall be satisfied as any other judgment. If no rent remains due after application of this division, judgment shall be entered for the tenant or resident in the action for possession. If the tenant or resident has paid into court an amount greater than that necessary to satisfy a judgment obtained by the landlord, the balance shall be returned by the court to the tenant or resident.”

2. “(1) [T]he action must be for possession of residential premises based upon nonpayment of rent; (2) the tenant must have and assert a counterclaim for an amount due either under the rental agreement or under R.C. Chapter 3733 or 5321; (3) the tenant must be successful on his counterclaim since there can be no net judgment unless both parties are entitled to judgment, the landlord, for past due rent or rent becoming due during the pendency of the action, and the tenant, upon his counterclaim; (4) the trial court in its discretion must have ordered deposit by the tenant of past due rent; and (5) the net judgment for the landlord must be no greater than the amount which the trial court ordered paid into court as a deposit by the tenant.”
