Wisconsin Eviction Document Rights

Summary

In Wisconsin eviction cases, tenants are entitled to receive copies of any documents submitted into evidence by the plaintiff. If you did not receive these documents, you should request them from the court or the plaintiffs attorney. If a judgment has been granted against you, consider filing a motion to reconsider, especially if there were procedural errors or new evidence. You may also explore filing a separate lawsuit for issues like illegal self-help eviction, landlord retaliation, and failure to make repairs. Consider appealing the judgment if you believe there were procedural errors or judicial bias. Filing a motion to reconsider can address issues such as lack of proper notice, procedural errors, and falsehoods in the eviction complaint.

Just evidence in general they submitted * documents into the record and I didn't get the opportunity to see them.
In Wisconsin eviction cases, the plaintiff is required to provide you with copies of any documents submitted into evidence. This is part of the discovery process. You should request to review these documents from the court or the plaintiff's attorney.
Is there anything specific you want to know about the eviction process?
No might need some more questions answered tho
It sounds like you have some concerns about the eviction process and the documentation involved. What specific questions do you have about the eviction process or the documents submitted?
Well the eviction complaint contains falsehoods, the landlords finance got caught in a lie during cross examination, I never received a 5 day notice to cure or vacate and I brought that up to the judge and they said that I probably did get one. However the notice that submitted into the record is just a 5 day notice to vacate not cure, the judge would allow me to make procedural errors like making a statement when it needed to be a question, but the judge allowed the other attorney to submit evidence that I never seen and or was irrelevant. I moved in on the 12th of June and the judge is making me pay all of June. The landlord self help evicted me twice once unsuccessful and the second time successfully by calling the electric company and having them shut the power off. The second time was in retaliation for getting the first eviction case dismissed. the landlord wouldnt make emergency repairs when the furnace didn't work or when the water line broke. The landlord intimidated me by putting up no trespassing signs on the property. I had to stay a month in a hotel when the electric was shut off.
