Help! Need Eviction Advise - Imminent Danger (Wisconsin)

Carson P.

I’m looking for some guidance. I recently purchased a side by side duplex. One side was vacant and is undergoing a remodel (which I’m doing myself), the other side came with inherited tenants. When I took ownership, I sent a letter with the lease breaches. I was promised they would be fixed (unauthorized tenants living in the unit and garbage outside the unit). Some were fixed but the unauthorized people are still living there. They are on a m2m lease and are current on rent. Today I went there to do some finish work on the vacant side. The two tenants were yelling at eachother. Doors were being slammed inside and outside. At one point two guys were fist fighting. Needless to say it was chaos. It also smelled like weed and cigarettes.. I ended up having to call the cops. The cops basically showed up and left. No one was taken away.

The tenant called me and admitted that there are people doing hard drugs in the unit, two unauthorized people living there, and a slew of other things that would easy constitute for grounds of eviction.

My fiancé was with me today and she was shaking she was so scared with everything going on. We feel scared for our own safety to even step foot on our property.. Wisconsin has ban evictions but this is putting me and my fiancé is danger. Is there anything I can do?

I’ll be contacting a lawyer Monday but my thoughts are serve the 14 day notice of termination and see if they get out. If not, then file for an eviction hopefully I can still file on the basis of my own safety...

Thoughts?!
