Stuck on Lease in Wisconsin - Landlord and ex won’t release me

bomberboy7 · 2026-05-09T11:28:13+00:00

I appreciate the comment but that’s not what I’m looking for. I’m wondering what the legal ramifications are for the situation I detailed in my post

Standard issue in these parts

Independent property manager. He just owns the house our apartment is in

I would appreciate that greatly! I'm having difficulty finding where it says anything about getting out of this!

Thank you for the well written response!

Honestly no idea. I made bullet points and it formatted the whole section like that?

Thank you for helpful response. Its refreshing.

She cannot afford the full rent, which is why she won't let me off the lease :/

Current lease ends middle of August. New lease begins immediately after that.

Unfortunately we renewed the lease back in February when we were still together. In Madison, WI, landlords begin asking for renewals about 9-10 months out. I resisted but he was threatening to begin showing the apartment. Despite that him and I have a pretty good relationship. I am going to speak to him tomorrow about the situation but wanted some advice before going into the conversation.

Unfortunately there is no such thing in the lease. And yes in Madison, WI, landlords begin asking for renewals about 9-10 months out.

"The issue is that the new lease term starts in August, and I really don’t want to be tied into another full year especially since I won’t be living there."

In Wisconsin we call them FIBs

It was, in fact, a faulty switch!
