Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Wisconsin

In the long run, you cannot truly win an argument with your landlord, since he owns the place and will find a way to get rid of you in the long run if he wants to . You, on the other hand, are also free to leave and get out of the lease by providing written notice that you are leaving prior to the next renewal date deadline in your lease. If you find this surveillance to be that big of a problem, you should therefore relocate. I doubt whether a judge would let you out of the lease early just for electronically keeping track of when you come and go. Landlords there days are justifiably afraid of having their properties potentially taken away from them if they permit illegal activities to continue, so this might motivate come to go overboard with monitoring tenants. .What you describe, however, is no worse than having security cameras covering common areas of a building, which are lawfully in common use nearly everywhere these days.
