FAQs
The most common documents cover property sales, deed transfers, and rental arrangements. Purchase agreements, warranty deeds, and residential lease agreements handle the majority of real estate transactions for Wisconsin homeowners, landlords, and tenants.
Notarization is widely required for deeds and other instruments that transfer an interest in real property. After signing and notarization, the deed is typically recorded with the county register of deeds to provide public notice of the ownership change.
A freehold interest — such as fee simple or life estate ownership — gives the holder full or lifetime property rights. A leasehold interest grants the right to occupy and use real property for a defined term under a lease, without conveying underlying ownership.
A landlord may retain all or part of a security deposit to cover unpaid rent or damages beyond normal wear and tear. Any remaining balance must generally be returned to the tenant within the timeframe established under Wisconsin landlord-tenant principles, along with an itemized statement of any deductions.
Short-term verbal rental agreements may be enforceable for month-to-month or very brief tenancies, but any lease for a term exceeding one year is generally required to be in writing. A written agreement protects both landlords and tenants by clearly documenting the terms of the leasehold.
