A Wisconsin Order on Petition for Stay of Eviction Based on Defendant's Application for Emergency Assistance (Small Claims) is an order issued by a court in Wisconsin to temporarily stop a landlord from evicting a tenant, based on the tenant's application for emergency assistance. The order provides the tenant with a period of time to either pay the landlord the owed rent or to provide proof of their application for emergency assistance. There are two types of Wisconsin Order on Petition for Stay of Eviction Based on Defendant's Application for Emergency Assistance (Small Claims): a Temporary Stay and a Final Stay. A Temporary Stay is issued when the court is waiting for a response from an emergency assistance agency, whereas a Final Stay is issued when the court has received a response from the agency and the tenant has been approved for assistance.
