Landlord Resources

Welcome to
Eau Claire Tenant Landlord
Resource Center

One eviction can change the trajectory of an individual or a family's life and multiple evictions in a community are destabilizing. We aim to intervene early between tenants and landlords before the word 'eviction' is even spoken.

  • TENANTS: If you've received an eviction notice please consult with a case worker at Western Dairyland, or your County Department of Human Services to see if you are eligible for assistance.

If you decide to go to court, know that you can ask the court to order mediation and you may be able to mediate the terms of moving out.
