Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a written lease agreement in Wisconsin?

While oral agreements may be enforceable for short-term leases, Wisconsin law strongly favors written lease agreements.

Wisconsin requires landlords to include specific disclosures such as Lead-based paint disclosure (federal requirement for pre-1978 housing) and Name and address of the landlord and any authorized agents, which must be in writing.

What are Wisconsin's security deposit rules?

In Wisconsin, there is no statutory limit on security deposits. Landlords must return the deposit within 21 days after the tenancy ends. Interest on security deposits is not required. Deductions must be itemized in writing.
