Conversion building; tenants’ rights
Wis. Stat. § 707.50
in effect(1) Notice of conversion. A developer of a time-share property which includes all or part of a conversion building, and any person in the business of selling real estate for the person’s own account who intends to offer time shares in a time-share property which includes all or part of a conversion building, shall give each residential tenant and residential subtenant in possession of the proposed time-share units 120 days’ prior written notice of the conversion. The notice shall set forth generally the rights of tenants and subtenants under this section and shall be personally delivered to the unit or mailed to the tenant and subtenant at the address of the unit or any other mailing address provided by a tenant.
(1m) Tenants’ rights.
(a) A residential tenant or residential subtenant shall not be required to vacate the property during the notice period required under sub. (1) unless the tenancy is properly terminated under s. 704.17 or unless, with respect to a tenancy under a lease, as defined in s. 704.01 (1), the term of the lease expires.
(b) The terms of a residential tenancy may not be altered during the notice period required under sub. (1).
(c) Failure to give notice as required by this section is a defense to an action for possession.
(2) Notice of termination. If the notice provided under sub. (1) meets the requirements of s. 704.17 or 704.19, whichever may be applicable, and s. 704.21, the notice constitutes both a notice of conversion and notice of termination of tenancy.
(3) Priority of lease. Nothing in this section permits termination of a lease by a developer in violation of the terms of the lease.
