Milwaukee Faces Wave of Evictions After Rent Controls End
A Marquette University survey indicates about 4500 Milwaukee families may face eviction when rent controls expire June 1. The study, requested by Mayor Zeidler, surveyed 577 tenants and 313 landlords. 11 percent of landlords want to evict their tenants, with many ready to take legal action. The report notes about half of tenants would be affected, but leases and modest rent boosts may save some.
