my tenant sub leased the property verbally to her relatives, and she had paid the rent in cash and a check that had insufficient funds, i talked to the relatives and they stated they had paid her $200 in cash the rent is $700 she gave me a check for $500 and they said she was living in another city and they had a verbal sub lease with her can I change the lease even though I have accepted the $200 and have asked her to make good on the $500 check that was not good she does not answer my phone calls, can I start eviction or must I give the full 30 day notice?

In WI, if the name on YOUR lease doesn't match the resident(s) one for one (exception being newborns), they are criminally trespassing. Period. Call the non-emergency number and talk to a Police rep. to verify. Nice Landlord - Tell the relatives that tenant has 48 hours to contact you at your number or please leave. Evil Landlord - Cops will be here in one hour to throw you out.
