Court of Appeals of Wisconsin.

840 N.W.2d 139 (Wis. Ct. App. 2013)

Opinion

No. 2013AP709.

2013-10-24

Ray A. PETERSON, Plaintiff–Appellant, v. Malcolm H. STEVENS and Devona Stevens, Defendants–Respondents.

Madison General Ordinance § 32.12(8)(b) defines good cause: “ ‘Good cause’ ... means that the landlord must show a good reason for his action, other than one related to or caused by the operation of this ordinance, including but not limited to normal uniform rental increases due to utility increases or other increased costs to landlord, or for other bonafide, nondiscriminatory business reason.” Based on its finding that the eviction was retaliatory, the circuit court dismissed the eviction complaint with prejudice. Peterson now appeals. Peterson proceeds pro se, as he did in the circuit court.
