Thursday, October 22nd, 2009After reading the “5-Day, 14-Day or 28-Day, Which notice do I use?” post, AASEW Attorney Heiner Giese suggested I should have used a more visual approach. As usual Heiner was right.

Select The Proper Notice (DIY Eviction Series)
All eviction actions begin with a properly served notice to vacate. In Wisconsin these are typically 5, 14 and 28-day notices. If you use a rental agreement or lease with a longer notice period the 28-day notice is replaced by a notice with the length of time contained in the lease or agreement, often 45 or 60 days. The type of notice you will use depends on the reason that you wish the tenant to vacate and the type of rental agreement that you have with the tenant.
So what notice do you use?
About the DIY Evictions Series
Monday, October 12th, 2009Years ago, maybe 1995 or so, I wrote the first draft of a guide to doing an eviction yourself. It has been updated many times since then, with lots of input along the way from users and experts alike.
I am once again in the process of updating the instructions to fit the changes that have occurred over the past couple of years years. While at it I am consolidating everything on a new server and this site.
So over the next couple of weeks I will have the series updated and posted here. You can subscribe to the RSS feed to be notified as they are posted.
