Answer:
In Wisconsin, the law prohibits discrimination in housing based on various factors, including disability. This means that a person cannot be evicted from their home solely due to their disability or because the land is sold, provided they own the home. However, if the land is sold, the new owner may have the right to evict you under certain conditions, depending on the terms of your ownership and any agreements in place.
Under Wisconsin Statutes, specifically section 106.50, it is unlawful for anyone to discriminate against a person in housing based on their disability. This includes actions like eviction or harassment. If you believe you are facing eviction due to your disability or the sale of the land, you may have legal protections available to you.
If you are concerned about your situation, it may be beneficial to consult with a legal professional who specializes in housing law to explore your rights and options.
