BATH, Ohio (AP) — Visitors heading to Ohio for the Republican National Convention have the rare opportunity to rent the childhood home of one of the country's most notorious killers. 
 
 The former Bath Township home of Jeffrey Dahmer is one of several private properties that real estate company Howard Hanna has made available for rent while the convention is underway in Cleveland in July. 
 
 The three-bedroom home about 25 miles south of Cleveland costs $8,000 to rent for the week. The listing describes the 1952 home as having a mid-century modern style with "a true park-like setting" and easy access to Interstate 77. 
 
 It's also the site of Dahmer's first murder in 1978. Then just 18, Dahmer killed hitchhiker Steven Hicks and disposed of his remains in the woods behind the property. He murdered 16 more victims and was killed in prison in 1994. 
 
 "If you get past that little problem, you'll have a wonderful place to live," said homeowner Chris Butler, a founding member of the 1980s new wave band The Waitresses. 
 
 Butler told the Akron Beacon Journal he put up the listing on a whim to "suck some Republican gelt from those people," using the Yiddish word for money. 
 
 He said he's been working to restore the home to a more authentic representation of its modern style in an attempt to improve its public image and move past the fact that Dahmer once lived there.

– People visiting Ohio for what is shaping up to be a fiercely contested Republican National Convention can spend their nights relaxing at the home where one of America's most notorious serial killers committed his first murder. The owner of Jeffrey Dahmer's childhood home is offering to rent the residence in Bath Township, 25 miles south of Cleveland, for $8,000 during the week of the convention, reports the AP. When he was 18, Dahmer murdered a hitchhiker at the property and buried him in the woods. He went on to commit another 16 gruesome murders after moving to Wisconsin. The home's owner, Chris Butler, says he didn't hide the home's past when he made it available through convention housing provider Howard Hanna, which listed it here. Butler, the founder of '80s New Wave band The Waitresses, tells the Akron Beacon Journal that he made the home available to convention attendees "for the heck of it"—and to see if he could "suck some Republican gelt from those people." Butler bought the house in 2005. He says he has been restoring the 1952 home, which he considers a great example of midcentury modern architecture. "The vibe was always good, but now it’s kind of really good," he says.
