Having shelter is an essential human need. Facing eviction devastates a person’s life and mental state. Often, it leaves people overwhelmed and feeling powerless, but knowing your tenant rights can make a world of difference.
Consider this: Evictions have returned to (and expected to exceed) pre-pandemic levels. As of August, there have been over 25,000 eviction filings this year.
There are resources to educate people on their rights as a tenant, as well as paths they can follow to protect themselves and their homes.
The Tenant Resource Center is a nonprofit, membership organization dedicated to promoting positive relations between rental housing consumers and providers throughout Wisconsin. By providing information and referrals, education about rental rights and responsibilities, and access to conflict resolution, we empower the community to obtain and maintain quality affordable housing.
