Recent Legislation A Victory for Wisconsin Landlords

For years, the WRA has supported legislation to limit a landlord’s exposure for unpaid municipal water and electric bills that end up on the owner’s property tax bill. In the past, if a tenant failed to pay the water or electric bill to a municipal utility (not an investor utility), the landlord was obligated to pay the unpaid bill.

The new law will place more accountability on the tenant for unpaid utility bills. Gov. Walker is expected to sign the bill soon.
