Senate Bill 1107 seeks to repeal the existing prohibition against local governments in Wisconsin from enacting or enforcing eviction moratoriums on landlords. Currently, state law prevents cities, villages, towns, or counties from imposing any restrictions that would hinder a landlord's ability to pursue eviction actions against tenants in both residential and commercial properties.
By repealing section 66.1010 of the statutes, this bill would allow local governments the authority to implement their own eviction moratoriums if they choose to do so. This change aims to provide local jurisdictions with greater flexibility in addressing housing issues, particularly in times of crisis or economic hardship.
