Yes. The landlord has 21 days after the end of a lease to send either the full security deposit or an itemized list of deductions ATCP 134.06(2)(a) or Wis. Stat. 704.28(4). The 21 days starts when rental agreement terminates or the date a new tenancy begin, whichever is first. Wis. Stat. 704.28(4)(b).
This law went into effect for anyone vacating their leases early as of 3/31/12.
