Check this site out http://www.toledohousingcourt.org/landlords/default.asp. Landlord/Tenant laws are very specific to the state and even to the city.

I FINALLY got tennants for a house we own and just used a standard California Realtors Lease. It includes all the necessary items for our protection and the protection of our tennants. I think I could have added additional points but didn't feel it was necessary.

Good luck! And it's wise to be very cautious and careful.

***Disclaimer**** I do not know about Ohio/Toledo landlord tenant law.

That being said, generally, you can add whatever terms you like to a form contract, and as long as both parties agree to them and they are not illegal terms, the modified contract will be binding and enforceable. Where the Toledo landlord tenant law comes in is in determining what is "not illegal".
