Wisconsin Rental Application Fee
A landlord may charge a rental application fee (also known in the state as an "earnest money deposit") for the application at whatever amount they choose, but only a maximum amount of $20 can be charged for the express purpose of a credit check. The purpose of the application fee is to allow the landlord to supplement the cost of a background check for each prospective tenant who completes a Wisconsin rental application.
In the state of Wisconsin, a landlord is also able to charge a security deposit and there is no state limit for how much a landlord may wish to charge for the deposit. The purpose of a security deposit is to allow the landlord to make any repairs to the property after the tenant leaves, or if a tenant breaks the agreement and the landlord must cover the cost of losing the income from the tenant until a new tenant can be found.
