§ 1310.52.

(A) An action for default under a lease contract, including an action for a breach of

warranty or indemnity, shall be commenced within four years after the cause of action

accrued.  By the original lease contract, the parties may reduce the period of limitation

to not less than one year. (B) A cause of action for default accrues when the act or omission on which the default

or breach of warranty is based is or should have been discovered by the aggrieved

party or when the default occurs, whichever is later.  A cause of action for indemnity accrues when the act or omission on which the claim

for indemnity is based is or should have been discovered by the indemnified party,

whichever is later. (C) If an action commenced within the time limited by division (A) of this section is

so terminated as to leave available a remedy by another action for the same default,

breach of warranty, or indemnity, the other action may be commenced after the expiration

of the time limited and within six months after the termination of the first action

unless the termination resulted from voluntary discontinuance or from dismissal for

failure or neglect to prosecute. (D) This section does not alter the law on tolling of the statute of limitations and

does not apply to causes of action that accrued before the effective date of this

section.
