Eviction threats for dog poop and fine?
2 attorney answers
I try and think of the chore of taking the dogs out as a pleasure rather than a bore. Dogs are fun.
Surely if you guys clear the scat the LL won't evict you. Try apologizing and showing diligence in this task and the fine issue will probably just go away too.
No legal representation exists by virtue of this answer. Consult your attorney. Licensed to practice law in Indiana and Illinois. Circular 230 Disclosure: any U.S. tax advice contained in this communication is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code, or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any matters addressed herein.
The starting point is to read your lease and any rules and regulations that are made a part of your lease. If there is a provision for picking up this material and you dont do it, then you are in breach of the lease and the landlord could start the eviction process. Most Judges do not like fines since they few them as penalties and penalties are not favored under Wisconsin law. So, depending on the exact language of your lease, an eviction may be possible but doubtful about the fine. Attorney James Hiller
