In Ohio, if you are in a month to month rental lease, your landlord must give you thirty days notice before raising the monthly rent. If you have a written lease, like a year term lease, the only constraint on the landlord is that the landlord must not raise the rent during the term of the lease. Ohio state law does not have any pertinent laws regarding rent control. Since it appears that you are at the end of your rental term, there is nothing you can do to prevent this rent increase.
