| 10 | 10 | ***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE*** | |
| 11 | 11 | AN ACT to repeal 799.40 (1s) of the statutes; relating to: the defense of waiver | |
| 12 | 12 | in eviction actions. | |
| 13 | 13 | Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau | |
| 14 | 14 | Current law provides that, in a small claims eviction action, it is not a defense | |
| 15 | 15 | to the action that the landlord or tenant has previously waived a breach of the rental | |
| 16 | 16 | agreement, including by accepting late rent payments, or that a custom or practice | |
| 17 | 17 | developed between the landlord and tenant so as to waive the right of the landlord | |
| 18 | 18 | or tenant to insist upon strict performance of the terms of the rental agreement. This | |
| 19 | 19 | bill eliminates that prohibition on the defense of waiver. | |
| 20 | 20 | The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do | |
| 21 | 21 | enact as follows: | |
| 22 | 22 | SECTION 1. 799.40 (1s) of the statutes is repealed. | |
| 23 | 23 | (END) | |
