Being threatened with eviction can be scary and confusing. We try to answer the most common questions about eviction in Wisconsin.
Prior to filing a suit in court for eviction, generally the landlord must provide written notice to the tenant (commonly called a notice to quit or notice to vacate). [3] The residential and commercial ordinances created jurisdictions preventing landlords from taking any action that may force a tenant out of their premises.
In landlord–tenant law, a notice to cure or quit is issued by a landlord when a tenant performs actions in violation of a lease. The notice gives a tenant the option of either fixing the offending problem or vacating the rental property. If the tenant continues performing the action(s) and does not move out, they can be evicted. [1]
