Wisconsin Late Rent Notice
This Late Rent Notice is built with Wisconsin as the governing state. These are the Wisconsin landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.
Wisconsin rules at a glance
| Late fees | No dollar cap; may be charged only if written into the rental agreementATCP 134.09(8) |

Rent, late fees & rent increases
- Late fees — No landlord may charge a late fee or penalty unless it is specifically provided for in the rental agreement (ATCP 134.09(8)). There is no statutory dollar or percentage cap, but a fee that is not a reasonable estimate of the landlord’s loss risks being struck as a penalty. Late fees can be taken from the deposit only if listed in the Nonstandard Rental Provisions document.
- Rent increases — Wisconsin has no rent-increase notice statute. During a fixed-term lease rent can change only if the lease allows it; for a month-to-month tenancy, a change in rent is effectively a new tenancy term and should be given with at least the 28 days’ notice required to end the tenancy (Wis. Stat. §704.19(3)).
- Rent control — Cities, villages, towns, and counties are barred from regulating the amount of rent or fees for private residential units (Wis. Stat. §66.1015).
- Automatic renewal — A lease clause that renews automatically unless the tenant gives notice is enforceable only if the landlord reminds the tenant in writing 15 to 30 days before the tenant’s notice deadline (Wis. Stat. §704.15; ATCP 134.09(3)).
Wisconsin Late Rent Notice FAQs
Can a Wisconsin landlord charge a late fee?
Only if the late fee is written into the rental agreement (ATCP 134.09(8)). There is no statutory cap, but the fee should be a reasonable estimate of the landlord’s cost. To deduct unpaid late fees from the deposit, they must be listed in a signed Nonstandard Rental Provisions document (Wis. Stat. §704.28(2)).
What is the eviction notice for unpaid rent in Wisconsin?
For a month-to-month tenant, a 5-day notice to pay or vacate or a 14-day notice to vacate. For a lease of one year or less, a 5-day pay-or-vacate notice, or a 14-day notice for a repeat default within a year. For a lease longer than one year, a 30-day notice (Wis. Stat. §704.17).
