Eviction requires judge's signoff First, remember that a landlord can't remove a tenant without a judge's order. It is illegal for a landlord to file for an eviction before giving a tenant a notice, usually of five or 28 days.

Removal from premises The landlord may not confiscate your personal belongings, turn off your utilities, lock you out of your apartment, or use force to remove you. If the small claims court judge rules in the landlord's favor, the judge may issue a court order requiring you to leave the property.

Tenants in Wisconsin have the right to exclusive possession of their apartment. This means that a landlord cannot enter without advance notice (or whatever terms are in your lease about entry): Entry must be at reasonable times and for three reasons (Maintenance, to show your place, an emergency).

(a). The tenant shall be responsible for the cost of changing the locks. If the landlord gives the tenant permission to change the locks, within a reasonable time after any lock has been changed the tenant shall provide the landlord with a key for the changed lock. 704.16(4)(c)1.

The landlord can give the tenant a five-day notice to pay or vacate. This notice informs the tenant that the tenant has five days to either pay rent or move out of the rental unit, or the landlord will file an eviction lawsuit against the tenant.
