Question About Serving a 5-day in Wisconsin
I have a tenant who hasn't paid her rent for several months. She is on an 8-month lease. Originally in the lease, it stated that she would put the utilities in her name and pay, however, she asked if she could reimburse us. Stupidly, I said sure. I spoke with an attorney today and have gotten advice to send the 5-day, however, I had follow up questions and the office doesn't seem too speedy on their email. When I send the 5-day, can I request reimbursement for the utilities also, which are now sizeable, or do I just send the 5-day for the rent? I have never had this problem before, so I was kind of going on the honor system. Rookie mistake, I know. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Google the Wisconsin way. Guide to landlord /tenant handbook. It's a great resource for rules in Wisconsin regarding rental property. And yes I'd include all money owed, rent, late fees, water bill in my 5 day notice.
