Wisconsin Court of Appeals
Civil
Property — landlord-tenant – eviction — holdover damages — security deposits
Steven Hanson, pro se, appeals an eviction judgment and an order denying his motion for reconsideration. Hanson argues: (1) the circuit court erred by failing to award the full amount of wrongful holdover damages; and (2) the court exceeded its authority by determining his award would be deducted from his tenant’s security deposit without Hanson’s consent before the twenty-one-day accounting period passed. We agree with both of Hanson’s arguments and modify the court’s judgment and order. As modified, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
Dist III, Barron County, Bitney, J., Stark, J.
Attorneys: For Appellant: Hanson, Steven, pro se; For Respondent: Thorud, Emily, pro se
