Tenant violating lease but pays rent on time (Kenosha, WI)

[Marcus Gaethke]

Hello all - Thanks in advance,

I have a tenant that moved in in September and I made the rookie mistake of looking past some red flags that occurred right before move in (I know, foolish).  Now this tenant is allowing many people on the property (5-15 people daily) and they hang out all day every day drinking and doing drugs on the porch.  The cops have been out to the property for disputes and I just found out there was recently a fight where one of the tenants guests hit another guest over the head with a brick amongst other fighting and the cops had to tase these people.  I asked the police to trespass these offenders from the property and they said that the tenant is allowed to have whoever they want on the property.  I have tried to reason with the tenant and they are unwilling to work with me.  I have previously spoken with my attorney and his comments on evictions in Wisconsin are that it is near impossible to evict for anything other than non-payment of rent.  They are on Section 8 so I have no problems collecting rent and I have tried to reach out to the housing authority and they have told me there is nothing they can do.  I'm at a loss right now and feel like there is nothing I can do to stop all this criminal activity from occurring on the property.
