Re: my landlord did not return my security deposit
Under Wisconsin law, Landlords have twenty-one days from the date that you vacate the premises to return your security deposit or provide a written explanation of the charges against your security deposit. Their failure to return the SD or provide a written explanation exposes them to double damages, plus recovery of your attorneys' fees as well.
