I've thought about it for a rental property, but it would require an internet connection, conceivably the tenant, in order to provide the feedback from the meter portion. 

There are currently 10 items, which I affectionately refer to as the "10 Deadly Sins" that if they are included in your Wisconsin residential rental agreement will render the agreement void and unenforceable.In my representation of landlords over the past 20 years, the two most frequent situations in which I have found an illegal provision in a rental agreement were because: (1) the landlord decided to draft his/her own rental agreement and didn't know that Wisconsin law prohibited him/her from including certain language, and (2) the landlord used a rental agreement that s/he found on the internet that was not drafted by a person knowledgeable about Wisconsin landlord-tenant law.Section 704.44 of the Wisconsin Statutes sets forth the prohibited provisions.You cannot include a provision in your Wisconsin residential rental agreement that:1.

I'm pretty sure the numbers all look great for when the project is completed, but then again, I'm just some dude reading the internet and throwing my life savings around like I'm at the roulette table!

My guess is materials from stores like Home Depot or Lowes.

I self manage, have material participation status and file on a schedule C.
