I am a landlord and my tenant has let the 5-day notice expire without payment of rent due. Do I need to file the 14-day termination notice next or can I go directly to the court summons to get him out for good?

With the 5 day notice, you have to be sure you let all 5 days pass, and the 5 days do not include the day the notice was served, holidays, or WEEKENDS. Per WI statute 801.15(1). The 14 day "no right to cure" notice is only for month-to-month tenants. Not sure if you are in Milwaukee or some other area of WI?
