A MOTHER of one has been slapped with an eviction notice following a violent domestic dispute with her son’s father.

Kasey Vang, a certified nursing assistant, said she was injured on Monday night when her 2-year-old son’s father attacked her.

She said he was at her home in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, babysitting their child while she worked a third shift.

“I was able to pin him to the living room ground for a couple of minutes and told my little sister to run to her room,” Vang told local CBS affiliate WFRV.

Showing a wound on her arm, she said: “I got cut with a bread knife.”

The police were eventually called to the home, located about 15 minutes outside of Green Bay. After that, her son’s dad fled the scene.

The next morning, Vang said she found a five-day eviction notice on her door citing illegal activity.

“This is a lot of pressure on me,” she said. “I almost died last night, and I got a letter on my door that I have to be out by Saturday.”

Vang said she doesn’t understand why she’s being evicted when she is the victim of the illegal activity.

The landlord David Lessmiller told WFRV that he has evidence that the father of her child was in fact living in the apartment, which is a violation. But, Vang said this was all a misunderstanding.

Scott Schnurer, staff attorney at private nonprofit Legal Action of Wisconsin in Green Bay, said domestic abuse survivors are protected in some ways.

“They do not have a right to evict for an act of domestic violence,” said Schnurer. “But if there are nuisance ordinances in place, it is possible that a landlord could evict for police calls.”

It’s also important to note that any protections for domestic violence cases can be negated with other lease violations.

It also depends on the lease. If you get a five-day eviction notice, you have the opportunity to make things right or be given 14 days where there is no chance to resolve the problem.

Also, landlords must go to court to get an order to physically remove tenants with proof of a violation unrelated to the domestic violence.

“There are statutes that prevent self-help eviction,” said Schnurer. “Where the landlord changes the locks or turns off utilities or threatens to call the police to have you moved at that moment. Landlords are required to file a lawsuit in the court.”

The situation can sometimes be resolved with a protection from abuse order, or if the tenant sends a written notice to the landlord that the offender will not return to the premises.

Vang said she wants to stay at her apartment because it’s close to her other son’s therapist. The 4-year-old has autism.

“I’ve tried calling and explaining,” said Vang. “He [the landlord] hasn’t returned my messages.”
