Landlord's Omnibus Bill Signed Into Law - Read It Now

Posted by Tristan R. Pettit, Esq. in ATCP 134, AASEW, Legislation, Rental Agreements, Rental Documents, State of Wisconsin, Act 143 (Landlord's Omnibus Law) / Comments

Governor Walker did sign the Landlord's Omnibus Bill into law.

I appreciate the effort of everyone that called the Governor's office asking him to veto the bill due to its deficiencies.

Here is a link to the new law.  Much easier to read than having to go back and forth between the orginal bill, the Substitute bill and the two amendments.

The two main concerns that I have with the law and which caused me to ask that the bill be vetoed. They are section 35M and section 36.

The AASEW has already spoken with Sen. Lassee's office regarding these two major problems and I will keep you informed if and when anything is done about them.

And yes, I will be reviewing all of Wisconsin Legal Blank's forms in the near future and making the necessary revisions - if needed - and will let you know when they will be available : )
