Know Your Rights
We Help Tenants, Landlords and Service Providers!
The Tenant Resource Center offers information to tenants, landlords and service providers interested in learning more about their rental rights and responsibilities. The first step is getting you the right information for your area - please tell us where you (or your rental question) are:
- OR -
I am in Fitchburg (under construction)
- OR -
I am in Wisconsin, not Madison or Fitchburg
All of our written materials (forms, brochures, seminar registration and books) are available on our Publications & Forms page.
