Q: I want to serve a Wisconsin 28 day notice to terminate tenancy. How is a 28 day notice counted?
I want to serve the 28 day notice for June. How are the days counted? Do I have to serve on June 2nd to allow at least 28 days before the end of the rental period? If served on June 2nd, is it true that the 28th day (June 30) cannot fall on Sunday?
I am the landlord. Tenancy is month-to-month and there is no written agreement. Rent is due each month on the first of every month.
A:
Yes, you would have to serve the notice on June 2nd. There is no restriction on the 28th day falling on a Sunday.
Section 704.19 Wis Stats outlines the rules relating to 28 day notices terminating periodic tenancies.
Please make note of the provisions of Section 704.19 (7) which informs you of how to count the days when providing service through various methods of service.
Please also note the requirement to comply with Section 704.21 which governs the manner of giving notice.
