Landlord-Tenant Issues
Remember
Before you file an Eviction Action, consider mediation. Mediate Milwaukee's Eviction Help for Landlords has been helpful for many landlords to resolve problems before an issue goes to court. Both tenants and landlords can request mediation or more information by calling 414-939-8800 or emailing apply@mediatemilwaukee.com
You can get help with Landlord-Tenant issues at the Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinics, including those at the Milwaukee Justice Center.
Eviction Notice Grid
This grid will help you decide which type of notice must be used during the eviction process. Match the type of lease / rental agreement you have (found on the top row of the grid), and the reason for the eviction (found on the left column of the grid). For more information on the types of notices or reasons for evictions, use the Eviction Checklist below.
