Wisconsin security deposit return deadline calculator
In Wisconsin, the landlord has 21 days to return your security deposit or send an itemized list of deductions (Wis. Stat. 704.28; Wis. Admin. Code ATCP 134.06). Enter your move-out date to get the exact date.
Wisconsin: deposit (or itemized deductions) due within 21 days.
Add your move-out date to see the deadline.
- If you leave when the lease ends, the 21 days count from the lease end date. If you leave early, they count from the lease end date, or from the day a new tenant's tenancy starts if the landlord re-rents sooner.
- If you stay past the lease end, the 21 days count from the day the landlord learns you moved out or you are removed. You aren't required to give a forwarding address, but giving one helps the refund reach you.
