Wisconsin lease renewal guide

Check renewal and notice dates

Read the automatic-renewal clause

Wis. Stat. 704.15 sets a reminder requirement for covered automatic renewal or extension clauses. Check whether the clause qualifies and deliver the written reminder during the 15-to-30-day window before the tenant's notice deadline. Save a copy of the notice and evidence of delivery.

Identify periodic occupancy

For an ordinary month-to-month tenancy, written termination notice is generally due at least 28 days before the next rent due date. Review the contract and statutory exceptions. Record a mutually agreed extension with clear dates and rent. Official source

Keep the deposit records

Calendar the applicable 21-day deadline

ATCP 134.06 generally requires deposit accounting and delivery or mailing of any balance within 21 days of the applicable event. If the tenant vacates early and the unit is rented again before the agreement ends, calculate from re-rental as described in the rule. Preserve condition records and provide a written itemization for deductions. Official source

Complete the agreement

Review attached terms

Keep the original lease and any applicable disclosures, including utility billing details when required. Sign in separate rows, one per tenant, and distribute the same signed packet to each party. Official source

Renew with clear terms

This agreement extends an existing lease and records the renewed rent. Lawful terms not expressly changed continue. It does not replace the original lease, create a new automatic-renewal clause, extend a guaranty, or require the tenant to leave when the new term ends.

State guidance is a starting point, not a determination of local coverage or a legal opinion. Rent-regulated and subsidized housing can require prescribed forms. Review the official sources shown for your state and get qualified advice for special cases.
