The Apartment Association of Southeastern Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Apartment Association, representing rental property owners and managers throughout Wisconsin, say that although the statewide moratorium on eviction filings ended on May 27, many tenants may need time to receive their federal stimulus checks or unemployment compensation benefits.
In a statement by the organizations, they say it is critical for the survival of rental housing that tenants who can pay rent do so, but that it is equally crucial that property owners work with tenants who are suffering legitimate financial hardships due to the current economic upheaval.
