Section 1, Purpose of This Notice

Dear [[Tenant Full Name(s)]],

Your current lease for the above-referenced Premises is scheduled to expire on [[Current Lease End Date]].

This written notice is provided pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 704.15 and serves one or more of the following purposes:

• ☐ Offer renewal of the lease on the terms stated below.
• ☐ Advise that the landlord will not renew the lease and that you must vacate by the end date (or the extended period if this notice is untimely).
• ☐ Provide notice of a rent increase or other change in terms effective upon renewal.

Your written response accepting or declining the offered terms (or providing notice of your intent to vacate) is required by the deadline stated below.

Failure by the landlord to provide timely written notice of non-renewal (between 15 and 120 days before expiration) may entitle you to remain in the Premises for up to sixty (60) additional days on the same terms as the expiring lease., -

Section 3, Statutory Notice Timing Requirements (WI Stat. § 704.15)

Wisconsin law requires that if a landlord does not intend to renew a lease, the landlord must provide the tenant with written notice of non-renewal not less than fifteen (15) days and not more than one hundred twenty (120) days before the lease expiration date.

• If the landlord provides timely notice of non-renewal (within the 15, 120 day window), the tenant must vacate on or before the lease end date (or any mutually agreed earlier date).

• If the landlord fails to provide timely written notice of non-renewal within the statutory window, the tenant is entitled to remain in possession for up to sixty (60) additional days on the same terms as the expiring lease.

• This notice must be in writing. No specific state-mandated form exists, but written documentation of the notice and its timely delivery is strongly advised.

This Premises is subject to the following lease expiration date: [[Current Lease End Date]]

This notice is being given on: [[Notice Date]]

Days before expiration: [[Calculated Number of Days]]

Is this notice within the 15, 120 day window? [[Yes / No, if No, tenant may be entitled to 60-day extension]], -

Section 4, Tenant Response Options and Deadline

Please select one of the following and return this signed notice (or a written response containing the same information) to the landlord at the address or email above no later than [[Tenant Response Deadline, e.g., ten (10) days after receipt of this notice]]:

☐ I/We accept the proposed renewal terms stated above and agree to execute a new lease or renewal addendum on or before [[Renewal Execution Deadline]].

☐ I/We decline renewal and will vacate the Premises on or before [[Current Lease End Date]] (or such other date as may be required or agreed in writing). I/We understand we remain responsible for rent through the date of vacating and compliance with all move-out obligations under the current lease.

☐ I/We propose alternative terms (attach written counter-proposal): [[Describe or attach]].

If you fail to respond in writing by the deadline and the landlord has timely offered renewal, the tenancy may convert to month-to-month (or terminate per the non-renewal terms if non-renewal was properly noticed) at the landlord's election, subject to applicable law., -

Section 5, Rent Increase and Term Change Notes

Wisconsin has no statewide rent control statute and does not impose a statutory ceiling on the amount of a lawful rent increase for most private residential property. Any rent increase must be properly noticed as part of this renewal process.

If this notice includes a rent increase or other material change in terms and you remain after the original lease end date without a signed renewal, the changed terms may apply only if proper notice was given and you remain in possession.

Landlord will not impose retaliatory increases or term changes in violation of Wis. Stat. § 704.44 or fair housing laws., -

Section 6, Security Deposit and Move-Out if Not Renewing

If you elect not to renew or are required to vacate:

• Provide written notice of your forwarding address for the security deposit accounting.
• Return all keys, access devices, garage openers, and remotes on or before the vacate date.
• Leave the Premises clean and in the condition required by the lease (ordinary wear and tear excepted).
• The security deposit will be accounted for and returned (or itemized deductions provided) in accordance with Wisconsin law and the terms of your current lease, typically within the timeframe specified in the lease or statute.

Numbered Key Wisconsin Lease Renewal Rules (Blank Lines Between)

1. Landlord must notify tenant in writing between 15 and 120 days before lease expiration if the lease will not be renewed.

2. Failure to provide timely written notice of non-renewal entitles the tenant to remain for up to 60 additional days on the same terms.

3. Renewal notices and rent increases must be in writing; oral notice is insufficient.

4. No specific state form is mandated, but clear written documentation of terms, effective date, and delivery is strongly recommended.

5. Wisconsin has no statewide rent control; rent amounts are generally governed by the lease and market.

6. Tenants should respond in writing by any deadline stated in the notice to avoid ambiguity about renewal or termination.

7. If the tenant remains after expiration without a new agreement and proper non-renewal notice was not given, the tenancy may continue on the prior terms for the statutory extension period.

8. All notices should be delivered by a method that creates a record (certified mail, personal delivery with acknowledgment, or email with confirmation where permitted).

9. Security deposit accounting and return rules from the original lease continue to apply upon termination or move-out.

10. Both parties should keep copies of all notices, responses, and any new signed lease or renewal document., -
