Legal Question in Business Law in Wisconsin

I have a small business and rent out two rooms . One of my renters who signed a lease for one year and is in her 6 month is refusing to pay this month . She claims she did not have any business. That is not my problem. I have to pay the lease every month wether business is good or not. What are my legal rights? It IS now the 8th of July and she tells me she has no money.

Any attorney will say your tenants financial problems are not a defense to her legal lease obligations. Hopefully you had her personally guaranty the lease, so you can go after her directly. Consult with an attorney in your area for specifics.
