§ 2111.31.
If the report of the appraisers under section 2111.30 of the Revised Code is favorable to the lease and on the final hearing the court is of the opinion that
it will be to the advantage of the ward, those whom the ward is required by law to
support, or the estate to lease the real property, the probate court shall make an
order authorizing the lease to be made by public or private letting, as it considers
best, on the terms, covenants, conditions, and stipulations, either in accordance
with those set forth in the petition or otherwise, that it directs, provided the terms,
covenants, conditions, and stipulations are not less favorable to the ward than those
reported by the appraisers. The lease shall not take effect until the lease and the security, if any, prescribed
in the lease are approved and confirmed. The lease made pursuant to the court order may provide that the improvements shall
be made by the tenant as part of the rent, or by the guardian, either out of the rent
or other means of the ward as the court directs. If the lease is for the mining or removal of mineral or other substances and the guardian
is unable to lease the lands upon the terms ordered, the guardian may report the fact
to the court and the court may change the terms of leasing, but not below the customary
royalty in the vicinity of the lands.
