Renters are being given another grace period as the federal government has extended the halt to evictions based upon non-payment of rent to March 31st.
Wisconsin Department of Ag, Trade and Consumer Protection Administrator Lara Sutherlin said such protection isn’t automatic, and doesn’t allow renters to skip payments altogether. All back-rent and any late fees still need to be payed eventually, and one must apply to be eligible for protection.
