Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Wisconsin

Yes, you are certainly entitled to do as you please and "let the chips fall where they may? in the judicial system if the landlord chooses to sue you. Except for your security deposit, your landlord would need to sue you in order to collect any money due on the lease via wage garnishments or other judicial collection remedies. However, in the civil suit, you would have a "do over" before the judge or the jury to prove that you were entitled to be released from the lease. If the judge or jury is convinced that you satisfied the condition allowing you to get out of the lease, you would not be liable for such future payments as the lease allowed you to escape in this way. In most states, you can even recover any portions of your security deposit which were wrongfully retained by the landlord. Sometimes, you can even get double the security deposit and actual attorney fees in WI. Another option, of course, is to reason with the landlord and offer alternate proof of your purchase, i.e., via a copy of your recorded deed, etc. You really need to retain an attorney and go over this entire transaction in detail, since I do not have nearly enough information to specifically advise you in this matter; these are intended as general comments only and do not create any attorney/client relationship between us.
