ManageOhio — active

Built in Columbus, by Columbus property managers.

ManageOhio is a division of MDC Realty Limited, locally owned since 2004 and managing more than 1,000 Columbus rental homes. This program exists because we believe renting shouldn't feel like a holding pattern — it should build toward something.

Common questions

Is the Resident Benefit Program free?

Enrollment is free and automatic for every ManageOhio resident. Some individual benefits, like renters insurance or optional services from third-party partners, have their own costs — those are clearly labeled on each perk card.

Do I have to sign up separately?

No. Every ManageOhio resident is automatically enrolled when they sign a lease. You'll see the full perk list in your resident portal after move-in.

What happens if a partner changes?

Partners, pricing, and availability may change from time to time. We'll keep this page and your resident portal updated with any changes, and we'll never replace a benefit with something less useful just to save money.

How does the Tenant Buyer Program work?

When you're ready to buy, you engage MDC Realty or Express Listed as your buyer brokerage by signing a buyer representation agreement. At closing, you receive up to $2,000 in closing cost assistance. Full details, eligibility, and the application are on the Tenant Buyer Program page.

Who do I contact with questions?

Email perks@manageohio.com or reach out to your property manager directly. We respond to most inquiries within one business day.
