§ 2737.11.
The respondent may recover property taken pursuant to an order of possession of which
the property is the subject by filing with the court a bond to the movant, executed
by the respondent's surety in the same amount as the bond filed by the movant pursuant
to section 2737.10 of the Revised Code , to the effect that, if judgment is issued against the respondent, the respondent
will return the property detained or pay the value assessed, at the election of the
movant, and will also pay the damages suffered by the movant as a result of the detention
of and any injury to the property, and the costs of the action. If the movant has not filed a bond, the amount of the respondent's bond shall be
twice the approximate value of the property as stated in the affidavit filed pursuant
to section 2737.03 of the Revised Code . If an order of possession has been issued by the court, the respondent also shall
provide the levying officer with a copy of the bond. In lieu of the bond, the respondent may deposit with the clerk of the court cash in
an amount equal to the approximate value of the property. If the respondent is indigent, the court may, on motion of the respondent or on its
own motion, waive the bond required by this section or set the bond in a lower amount,
as fairness requires.
