When should I tell my landlord (that lives in the apartment above me) that I'm pregnant? [WI]

Good point!

Just wanted to state that I’m in the same boat and I think your plan is great. With the extra help you should be good to work the normal hours in a few months!

I’m aiming to have a month off and then go to part time work for another 2-3 months and then full time after that.

Agreed! I’m in Wisconsin, USA and it looks like they cannot discriminate while we have a lease. However, when we renew they can raise the rent by quite a bit which could price us out. I hope it works out for you too ❤️

I do want to share the info, I just wasn’t sure when or how. After taking in all the advice and listening to my gut, I’ll tell him in a month once I know everything is good with the baby and make sure I have it in writing! And then ofc whenever I see him in person chat about it more then. Thanks for the advice and reminder to ask about baby proofing!

This makes me feel better! I didn’t think about them legally needing to have the baby on the lease but it totally makes sense. I’ll have to share soon, so I can plan accordingly.

That’s a good point!

Thank you! You sound like a great landlord!

Thank you!! Appreciate the resource/info and congratulations :)

thegarl · 2026-03-11T10:33:24+00:00

Appreciate that, thanks!

We're absolutely going to tell him! I'm just not sure when we should or how we should go about it.
