Wisconsin · Late fees

Wisconsin late fee law

Wisconsin law sets no dollar or percentage cap on late fees and no required grace period, so your lease sets the terms.

Grace period: No statutory grace period.
Limits on the fee: No statutory cap; a late fee may be charged only if the rental agreement provides for it, rent prepayments must be applied first, and no fee may be charged for not paying a late fee.
