Utility Residential Tenant-Personal Asset Lien

In accordance with Wis. Stat. 66.0809(3m)(a), as of October 15, 2015, the Utility has a lien upon the responsible tenant's personal assets in the amount of the past due utility charges plus penalties. Under Wisconsin law, the Utility is to transfer its lien to the owner of the rental property once the property owner pays the past due utility charges in full Wis. Stat. 66.0809(3m)(d). This lien, once filed by the owner of the property, will result in the tenant's name appearing on the Wisconsin Consolidated Court Automation Program (CCAP).
