Wisconsin Rent Increase Notice

A Wisconsin landlord has to give tenants written notice before rent goes up. How much notice — and whether there’s a cap — is set by statute. Here’s what Wisconsin’s says.

Wisconsin rules at a glance

Wisconsin rules for a Rent Increase Notice
Notice before an increase28 days. Wisconsin has no rent-increase notice statute; for a month-to-month tenancy, a change in rent should be given with at least the 28 days’ notice required to end the tenancy.Wis. Stat. §704.19(3)
Rent capCities, villages, towns, and counties are barred from regulating the amount of rent or fees for private residential units.Wis. Stat. §66.1015

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)).
