Assembly Bill 1120 seeks to repeal the existing statute 66.1010, which currently prohibits local governments in Wisconsin from enacting or enforcing eviction moratoriums against landlords. This means that under the current law, cities, villages, towns, or counties cannot prevent landlords from pursuing eviction actions against tenants in both residential and commercial properties.
By repealing this provision, the bill would allow local governments the authority to implement their own eviction moratoriums if they choose to do so. This change could potentially provide more flexibility for local jurisdictions to address housing issues and tenant protections in their respective areas.
