SECTION 1. LANDLORD RESPONSIBILITIES
While most landlords and tenants take pride in their
home, there can often be disagreements between
landlord and tenant. Therefore, the Wisconsin
Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer
Protection regulates Landlord/Tenant issues and
distributes A Guide for Landlords and Tenants to
protect both landlords and tenants.
A landlord has the right to collect rent in a timely
manner to meet their obligations - mortgage, taxes,
insurance, payroll, and repair and maintenance.
Landlording is a business. Successful landlords treat
it as such.
When a landlord rents property to a tenant as a place
to live, the property must be in a “habitable”
condition. Habitable means fit to live in;
“uninhabitable” means not fit to live in. Under
Wisconsin state law, specifically Wis. Stat.
§704.07(2), a landlord must repair problems that
make the property uninhabitable – except for
problems caused by the tenant or the tenant’s guests,
children or pets. In order for the property to be
habitable, it must have all of the following:
1.
Effective weather protection of roof and exterior
walls, including unbroken windows and doors.
2.
Plumbing facilities in good working order,
including hot and cold running water, connected
to a sewage disposal system.
3.
Gas facilities in good working order.
4.
Heating facilities in good working order.
5.
An electrical system, including lighting, wiring
and equipment, in good working order.
6.
Clean and sanitary buildings, grounds, and
appurtenances (e.g. detached garage or storage
shed) which are free from debris, filth, rubbish,
garbage, rodents and vermin.
7.
Adequate trash receptacles in good repair.
8.
Floors, stairways, and railings in good repair.
9.
In addition, the rented property must have all of
the following:
10.
A working toilet, wash basin, and bathtub or
shower. The toilet and bathtub/shower must be
Revised 9/2014
in a room that is ventilated, and that allows for
privacy.
11.
A kitchen with a sink.
12.
Natural lighting in every room through windows
or skylights. Unless there is a ventilation fan, the
windows must be able to open at least halfway.
13.
Safe fire or emergency exits leading to a street or
hallway. Stairs, hallways and exits must be kept
litter free. Storage areas, garages, and basements
must be kept free of combustible materials.
14.
Operable deadbolt locks on the main entry doors
of rental units, and operable locking or security
devices on windows.
15.
Working smoke detectors in all units of multiunit buildings, such as duplexes and apartment
complexes. Apartment complexes also must
have smoke detectors in common stairwells.
SECTION 2. LANDLORD REQUIREMENTS
Wisconsin state law, Wis. Stat. §704, obligates that
landlords must here to certain requirements, such as:
1. Give tenant(s) at least 12 hours notice before
entering the premises, unless there is an
emergency situation in which case notice is not
required.
2. Respond to maintenance requests in a timely
fashion. Maintenance personnel may enter
property without notice upon a maintenance
request. If landlord fails to respond or repair
requests by tenants there are certain rights
available to tenants. Tenants can contact the
Tenant Resource Center for information on
Repairs in the State of Wisconsin.
3. Provide tenant with emergency contact and name
of address of landlord for notices and to send
rental payments.
4. Return the tenant's security deposit within
twenty one (21) days of the end of the lease as
required by law. If a tenant vacates before the
rental agreement termination date, the twenty
one (21) days for the return of the security
deposit begins on the termination date or on the
date the landlord re-rents the premises,
whichever comes first.
Page 2 of 11
5. Upon end of the lease presume that personal
property the tenant leaves behind is abandoned
and Point Housing may dispose of the property as
deemed necessary. The landlord will not store
any personal property the tenant leaves behind.
The landlord can dispose of the property
regardless of whether it is owned by the tenant or
someone else. The tenant, or a secured party, may
redeem the property prior to disposal if the
tenant, or secured party, pays the landlord
incurred expenses associated with the disposal of
the property. Two exceptions are medical items
and manufactured homes, mobile homes and
titled vehicles. With medical prescriptions and
equipment, the landlord must hold the item for
seven (7) days before disposal and the items
must be returned to the tenant if requested in
this seven (7) day period. Any manufactured
home, mobile home or titled vehicle cannot be
disposed of until the landlord has given written
notice to the tenant and any secured party that
the landlord has actual knowledge of, by regular
or certified mail to the tenant’s last known
address.
6. Provide a standardized, informational Condition
Report to tenants upon move-in.
7. Disclose, that before any earnest money or
security deposit is paid, any building or housing
code violations in which the landlord has actual
knowledge of the violation(s).
8. In the case of eviction, follow the eviction laws of
Wisconsin.
9. If a tenant remains in possession of the premises
beyond the end of the lease term without the
landlord’s consent, then the landlord is entitled to
damages of at least twice the rental value for the
space apportioned on a daily basis.
SECTION 3. TENANT RESPONSIBILITIES
A tenant must take reasonable care of the rented
property and common areas, such as basements and
hallways. This means that the tenant must keep those
areas in good condition. A tenant also must repair all
damage that he or she causes, or that is caused by the
tenants’ guests, children, or pets. Tenants shall do all
of the following:
1. Keep the premises as clean and sanitary as the
condition of the premises permits.
Revised 9/2014
2. Use and operate gas, electrical, and plumbing
fixtures properly. Examples of improper use
include overloading electrical outlets, flushing
large, foreign objects down the toilet, and allowing
any gas, electrical or plumbing fixture to become
filthy.
3. Dispose of trash and garbage in a clean and
sanitary manner.
4. Not destroy, damage, or deface the premises, or
allow anyone else to do so.
5. Not remove any part of the structure, dwelling
unit, facilities, equipment or appurtenances, or
allow anyone else to do so.
6. Use the premises as a place to live, and use the
rooms for their proper purposes. For example, the
bedroom must be used as a bedroom and not as a
kitchen.
7. Notify the landlord when deadbolt locks and
window locks or security devices do not operate
properly.
8. Tenants have a duty to notify landlord of repairs.
For example, if tenants fail to provide notice of a
leaking refrigerator within a reasonable time and
the condition worsens, then tenants is liable for all
or part of the damages that result from water
leaking from the refrigerator onto the kitchen
floor.

Revised 9/2014
Page 6 of 11
contested and unless you have a Condition Report
and pictures you may format part or all of your
security deposit. Make sure to document all damage
and take photos!
General rule of thumb - are you leaving the unit in the
same condition as when you moved in? Again take
pictures and have the landlord or property manager
agree to the condition.
A landlord can only withhold for damage fees that are
deemed reasonable for the damage claimed. If a
defect existed before you moved in, you should not be
charged for that particular problem. The importance
of pictures and a condition report cannot be stressed
enough. Normal Wear and Tear is a vague term and
means different things to different people. So protect
yourself.
DEFINED AS ‘DAMAGES OR ABUSE’:

Damages are actual things in the apartment that
you or your guests actually break, such as a
window or a hole in the wall.

Holes in wall from hanging pictures, removal of
decals on the walls. Larger gouges, etc.

Tear in carpet, animal stains (even if landlord
knew you had a pet). Burn marks - iron, cigar,
cigarette, ground in stains.

Doors with holes. Doors or windows broken.
Glass, etc.

Clogged drains caused by your misuse of sinks or
toilets. For women, please be sure to dispose of
feminine products in the trash, not the toilet.
Clogged drains from hair. Be sure to keep drains
free from hair clogs or water damage, or high
repair costs could occur.

Broken or missing blinds or curtains. If they were
there when you moved in, they must be there
when you leave.

Eliminating flea/insect infestations caused by
animals. The same for smoke damage from
smoking or burning candles.

Excessive bathroom mildew. Use a good cleaning
product like Tilex or Spray 409 weekly.

Broken shelves in a refrigerator. Excessive
dirt/dust in the refrigerator vents and back of
refrigerator. This is the area under the unit. Every
time you vacuum, vacuum around the unit.

Excessive dirt or filth in refrigerator. Defrost the
refrigerator if not frost-free.

Unclean stove, both stovetop and oven. Be sure to
clean or replace the drip pans for each burner
and the inside of the oven. To prevent stove from
excessive dirt and grease, lay tinfoil in the oven
and wrap drip pans in tinfoil.

Dirty/dusty blinds.

General dust in the apartment. Be sure to clean in
ceiling corners for cobwebs as well.

Dirty /dusty bathroom vent.
WHEN YOU MOVE IN AND OUT



Take pictures and/or video - use a disposable or
video camera. Pictures are worth a thousand
words and therefore, dollars. Sign and date the
pictures and save them.
The average cost to clean a residence is $150 for
the full job. If you do not have time, consider
hiring a cleaning service.
Normal Wear and Tear may include things such
as faded paint - you yourself did not cause the
paint to fade, thus you would not be responsible
if and when to repaint.
DEFINED AS ‘NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR’:

Faded Paint

Old, worn carpet or furniture marks in carpet.
The natural wearing down of carpet because of
normal use or aging.

Worn hinges on doors or locks. Hole or ding in
wall from missing door stop.

Broken plumbing pipes, unless you damaged
them. Central drain problems, not caused by your
incorrect disposal of items.

“Faded” curtains that were in the unit when you
came. However, to remove curtains that you
placed and did not remove, you may be charged.
