Wisconsin 5-Day & 14-Day Notice to Vacate, Rent Non-Payment

About this Form Set

This document set comes with two legally compliant form letters that can be used in Wisconsin to issue a 5-day and 14-day notice to a tenant to vacate. Additionally, the set includes an Affidavit of Service. These three documents are professionally crafted to meet the requirements outlined in Wis. Stat. Ann. § 704.17 et seq. The 5-day notice letter serves as the first step in the eviction process, giving the tenant the option to either pay all past-due rent within 5 days of receipt of the letter or to vacate the premises. The 14-day notice letter is used to terminate the tenancy due to the repeated violation of failing to pay rent when due and provides no option to pay rent. The form letters and affidavit are standard, unlocked Microsoft Word documents that are reusable and customizable to fit your specific situation, and they can be downloaded immediately after purchase.

Overview of the Notice Statutes

First Late Payment Violation: 5-Days (Curable)

If a tenant under a lease for a term of one year or less or a year-to-year tenant fails to pay rent when it is due, the landlord can terminate the tenancy by giving the tenant notice that requires them to pay the rent or vacate the property within 5 days of the notice.

Repeated Violation Within 1 Year: 14-Days (Non-Curable)

If the tenant fails to pay rent again within one year of their previous default, the landlord can terminate the tenancy by giving the tenant notice that requires them to vacate within 14 days of the notice. No option to cure (pay the overdue rent once again) is required for these repeated cases.
