Eviction: Hold Over Tenant

[Emmett Gorman]

I have a tenant in which I will not be renewing there lease that is set to be up Dec 31st. I don't believe that they will be out by that data, thus making them a hold-over tenant. Wisconsin law states that if a tenant stays after lease is over, I have the right to follow all eviction laws and have started getting that paperwork ready.

My question is that on the lease, I made the current tenant have a co-signer. On the eviction paperwork, am I able to include the co-signer on all legal paperwork? The co-signer would have the assets to pay damages/lost rent if this goes to court.

I am working on finding a eviction lawyer for real advice, was just wondering if anyone had information in the meantime.
