Yes, in Wisconsin, a landlord generally must have a legal reason to evict a tenant. However, if a written lease agreement has expired, the landlord can end the tenancy without citing an additional reason, provided they give the tenant proper written notice (usually 28 days for month-to-month tenancies).
In all cases, the landlord must obtain a court order to evict and cannot use self-help methods.
