It's OK to want this person out, but you must do it LEGALLY. This is June. So why did you not give the T the 5 day notice to pay or quit, a month ago when May's rent did not get paid? And a 24 hr notice by text, may not be legal in Wisc. Go over there and POST a 24-48 hr notice that you will be going in on Saturday. Take a witness with you when you go in.

What do you expect to find when you go in? When you post your 24 hr notice, it needs to say the reason WHY you are going in--------to check the smoke detectors and clean the furnace are good reasons, along with wanting to see if they have moved, since you have received no rent, and no contact from them. No matter what you find in the apartment, proceed with Wisc. LL/T laws regarding eviction for nonpayment of rent.

Thank you for your reply. The tenant did pay the May rent. My bad. I meant June's rent did not get paid. I usually get it early so I was concerned and I texted and called with no response. I plan on bringing a five day pay or quit notice tomorrow. I will review the Wisconsin LL/T laws.
