Sometimes organizations or agencies outside of DHS conduct surveys that may include a cash reward. However, always look more into any survey before completing it, so that you can make sure it is safe to complete. FoodShare Wisconsin was created to help stop hunger and to improve nutrition and health. FoodShare helps people with limited money buy the food they need for good health. Each month, people across Wisconsin get help from FoodShare. They are people of all ages who have a job but have low incomes, are living on small or fixed income, have lost their job, and are retired or disabled and not able to work.

Noting these things quickly after move-in means you won't be held liable for them as a tenant when you move out. Roberson noted that landlords have to give you 12 hours notice before entering your apartment. However, you, the tenant, do not have to be there.

Roberson also advised that it's important to have a good relationship with your landlord in case they suggest a time that doesn't work for you. The law is very clear on this issue: you absolutely cannot take withhold rent from the landlord, even if that landlord is refusing to make essential repairs.

It's a mistake renters commonly make in Milwaukee and one even Patino said she made years ago. That went on for about a month and we withheld a portion of our rent without knowing we were not in the right. As Roberson emphasizes during the program: withholding rent is a breach of contract and one of the leading causes for evictions.

There is a legal way to withhold rent , but it requires working with the city. Once you make a complaint with the city which you can do by calling , they will send out an inspector. If the inspector agress repairs are needed and the landlord fails to make them, you can pay your rent money to the city, which will hold it in an escrow account until the repairs are made.

If there are housing-related safety hazards, such as electrical issues, concerns regarding personal safety in your building, or general questions about whether you or your landlord's behavior is legal, you can call DNS or other agenices listed below.
