asked:
Our county court commissioner said I can not make rules for my renters,only state rules apply!I had renter sign and initial several places on contract saying they would pay rent and on time,not damage anything,no pets,no extra people moving in,etc, and when I took them to small claims court for damage and moving in a boyfriend(she told me 4 times she would not) having a pet,noise,removing smoke detecters,Having a business(hair cutting) with people in and out all day,water bill went up 80% for 3 mths,I was fed up and gave notice and went to court.Court said I could not make up rules beyond state laws even though renter signed it,it was not legal!!!WHAT? Employers here can send people home without pay for any or no reason,creating much verbal abuse and threats,treating us like children and idiots,BUT I can not make common sense rules for my rental(a very beautiful victorian which I maintain every week and live upstairs)???I am in wisconsin,Thanks
I mentioned employers because states allow them to have any rules they want concerning what an employee can and can't do or say at work.Why can't I make them for my business?

You need to speak with an attorney who practices landlord tenant law and can review the details of your issue, including the contracts, rules and other facts involved with the case.
The answer to your question depends on what contract that you had the renter sign, what jurisdiction that you are in, what rules that you added, and what state law applies in Wisconsin. Typically, each state has a landlord tenant act, which in Wisconsin is Chapter 704. Often, unchangable rights and responsibilities for each party are written out clearly in this act. There are certain parts that can be altered in a rental agreement; however, this is an area to become familiar with and then speak with an attorney about.
Basically, an attorney who is familiar with landlord/tenant law would be able to answer your questions and to draft a proper rental agreement that addresses the issues that you want to protect against. Contact the Wisconsin Bar Association to find a suitable attorney.

The US District Court clearly state that a contract is an agreement between the parts that sign it. If your local court did not make legal your contract, then you should appeal to the next forum. When 2 legal age persons sign a contract e/part has to be ruled by that. but in the event that one of them break it and the other allows it, the contract became null-ed.
