Learn About Wisconsin's New Landlord-Tenant Law At AASEW's Next Meeting on June 18th.

Posted by Tristan R. Pettit, Esq. in AASEW, Legislation, Act 143 (Landlord's Omnibus Law) / Comments

You will not want to miss the Apartment Association of Southeastern Wisconsin's next membership meeting on June 18, 2012.  The focus of the meeting will be on Wisconsin's new Landlord Omnibus law (Act 143).

The passage of this new law in late March made a lot of changes to landlord tenant law in Wisconsin - both residential and commercial.  Landlords and management companies will need to make modifications to their rental documents and m,anagement procedures and practices in order to be in compliance.

We will have two landlord attorneys (myself and AASEW Attorney Heiner Giese) and a tenant attorney (Bob Andersen of Legal Action of Wisconsin) at the meeting to summarize the changes to you, give you our interpretation of the law and how it will play out in court, and provide you with reccomended best practices.  Oh yeah . . . and we will also answer your questions.

This new law was rushed through the legislative process and as such it was poorly written, resulting in much confusion and a difference of opinion as to how it should be interpreted.  The panel members will do their best to point out the areas of concern so that you can be better prepared in dealing with them.

Dont forget about the FREE food.

Here are the details:

LOCATION:     Best Western Hotel located at 1005 S. Moorland Road in Brookfield WI

DATE:     Monday, June 18, 2012

TIME:     7 pm

COST:     Free to members of the AASEW; $25 to non-members -- Become a member that night and pay only $59 for the rest of the year (and avoid the $25 fee).

We hope to have a great turnout and a great discussion.  I hope to see all of you there.
