- Permitted: Not addressed in the published rulebook.
- Prohibited: Not addressed in the published rulebook.
- Penalty: Not applicable; no staging rule in the published rulebook.

Provenance: these board rules were documented as part of RELTO's Ohio research, whose state entry is verified against the board or statute’s own public rulebook (last verified 2026-10-11). No separate board-rulebook citation is indexed for this rule — confirm the current wording with the board directly.

## Not legal advice

Informational only. RELTO is a virtual-staging technology provider, not a law firm. Board rules and enforcement practices change; confirm each rule with the board’s current rulebook, your broker, and a licensed real-estate attorney before relying on it. Verification dates and confidence tiers describe the state entries, not board-specific rulebook citations.
