Wisconsin Landlord & Tenant Manual

At some point in their lives, most Wisconsinites have been renters and leased an apartment, duplex, townhome, or single-family home. Wisconsin Landlord & Tenant Manual provides attorneys, landlords, and tenants with a solid guide to residential landlord-tenant law. This highly accessible guide walks readers through the life cycle of a tenancy from the perspectives of both landlords and tenants.
