My tenant up and left, do i still have to evict?
I noticed a few weeks ago that my tenant stopped mowing the lawn, and apparently stopped paying their energy bill, because the local power company came over and took the meter and put a tag on it. The first of this month came and she did not pay the rent. I left a 5 day notice on the door, and now- 5 days later it is still sitting there. I assume she moved in with her boyfriend. The other renter (its a duplex) says he has not seen her in a month. I have been calling/ texting her, and she just ignores me. I looked in the windows and she has a few things left in there, but not much. Do I have to evict her even though shes not living there? Or can I just take back the unit, and put the couple things left behind in storage? I am in Wisconsin. thanks!
