Mediation

OSU STUDENTS... Are you having problems with your roommate(s) which you don't know how to resolve?

REGISTERED LANDLORDS... Are you having problems with your OSU student tenants which you don't know how to resolve or would like to resolve out of court through mediation?

Off-Campus Student Services, in conjunction with the Law School, offers mediation for students who are having issues with co-tenants and/or landlords. Mediation allows students to participate in a session with a neutral third party. Conversations can take place, in hopes of coming to an agreeable compromise between both parties. Please note, participating in a mediation session is on a voluntary basis. Off-Campus Student Services cannot force a co-tenant to attend the mediation session. However, if you request a mediation between you and your landlord, and the landlord is registered with Off-Campus Student Services, they have already agreed to participate in good faith mediation if a situation ever arises.

If you are interested in scheduling a mediation, please contact Off-Campus Student Services at 614.292.0100. A mediation can usually be scheduled 2 to 4 weeks after a request has been submitted, depending on all parties schedules.
