Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Wisconsin

Yes, you can use the LLC as lessor, but it may not be legally binding, since the LLC does not really own the property. Technically, saying that it is the owner would therefore be a misrepresentation which could be used against you later in litigation and subject you to punitive damages and actual reasonable attorney fees spent by the opposing party. Tax wise, however, it may not matter much, since most LLC's are pass through entities, taxed as personal income either way. Of course, you will have none of the protection from personal liability which an LLC running a business would otherwise afford you.
