How to write a letter to magistrate for animals eviction

Answer:
Explanation:
DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
I know that I owe $___ amount of money
I have until [this date] to pay that amount. (This is important because sometimes landlords don't count the days correctly in a 5-day notice, because it's pretty complicated. You can double check their math with this information.)
I am trying to find help from [these agencies]. (Not sure about the agencies in your area? Call 211 or go to their website. Also, the Coordinated Entry program, available through 608-257-0006 x7, is good for those in Dane County.)
I am giving the landlord permission to answer questions from these agencies. (We are seeing some landlords are requiring a "release of information" on file before they answer questions, and this letter will serve that purpose. It'll help make sure that the process doesn't get slowed down).
The letter also gives the landlord some good information about steps that you're taking to pay off your rent, which means that they'll feel less likely to take you to court if you're a day late. This depends on the landlord, though, and the history you guys have. Also, it puts the last day that you can pay up in writing, so that if you need to fight about it later, you'll have the paper trail you need to support your claim.
Eviction laws say: That if you get a 5-day notice for unpaid rent, then you need to pay the amount owed within that 5 days, or move out, or the landlord can take you to eviction court. If you try to pay after the 5 days are over, the landlord can accept that money and still evict you. The landlord him/herself cannot remove you or change the locks or shut off the utilities - the landlord has to go to court and have a judge tell them that they can take the rental unit back. (From Wis. Stat. 704.17(2)a and Wis. Stat. 799.40(1m)). A much more detailed explanation of the eviction process is on our Eviction page.
