Eviction Moratoriums with Tristan Pettit (Landlord Perspective)
Tristan Pettit of Petrie + Pettit S.C., Milwaukee, concentrates his practice in the area of landlord-tenant law, representing landlords and property management companies.
He notes that a state eviction moratorium has expired but a federal moratorium imposed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has been extended.
“Essentially, it prohibits certain kinds of evictions from being filed. So if a landlord has been served with a declaration by the tenant attesting to meeting several conditions, then they cannot bring a failure to pay rent eviction,” Pettit said.
He noted that landlords can still bring eviction actions for non-rent breaches of lease agreements. ‘It’s a learning lesson. Things are changing day by day, and every county is treating things a little differently,” Pettit noted.
Law Students Get Earlier Court Experience under Proposed Rule Change
Expanding the law student practice rule also increases access to justice in Wisconsin while promoting greater diversity in the legal profession, according to a petition recently filed with the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
