Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Wisconsin

Terms of quiet enjoyment

I rent out an owner occupied duplex and am evicting a tenant for non-payment of rent. Her rent has been late a few times so last month I left her a note asking her to let me know when she expects delays. She did pay (late.) Over the last month I have left various notes on her door (about 10) updating her on repairs, notifying her for entry for repairs and improvements, painting of exterior, status of landscaping projects and delay by rain, etc.) She now claims harrassment and that the rain delay in the lawn planting has ruined her enjoyment. Is leaving notes on a tenant's door to provide notice for entry a breach of quiet enjoyment in this scenario? Is there a general limit to the number of entries a landlord can make?

What is harassment to one is legitimate busines to another. If she doesn't want you there don't be there. If she doesn't pay the rent sue her and evict.
