| Yeah, reading some of that stuff is about exciting as watching paint dry, isn't it? ;) I prefer muddling through the official language on the books, only for accuracy sake. But often you can find simplified translations at the websites of Universities and Colleges in your state, geared for students who rent housing off campus. Can't vouch for how current or accurate this is, but: State Bar of Wisconsin Legal Q&A (see Landlord/Tenant, right section middle). (HUD site led me to site above.) Another one, sort of in-between. Explains and then cites the code in the legislature. Hope that helps... |
