How do I get out of a two year home rental lease in WI?

We are two weeks from fulfilling our first year of the lease. Our landlord has put the home up for sale, which is their right, yet we don't want the bother of being told how the furniture should be arranged, that we can't use the basement for storage, little notice on showings(less than the usual 12-24 hour period), and constant badgering from the landlord when an agent calls her to complain that the house didn't show well bordering on harassment. Also, my two sons have a bedroom which has a door to the attic which is unfinished and we were told that we can't have his bed against that wall which grants access. The only way to configure/accommodate the two beds in that room is to have one bed against that wall blocking access to the attic. This means both beds are essentially on top of one another, and we lose out on the useable space. Why are we being told to make look as though no one lives here for the next year? What are we paying rent for if we cannot have the home to OUR liking, and only the landlord's/realtor's? This has to be infringing on our rights.





Reference WI Stats Chapter 704 and 706 and Chapter ATCP 134 for legalese.How do I get out of a two year home rental lease in WI?
a; u find a sublease [aka sandwich tenant] where you become


THEIR landlord for the full last year of YOUR lease.





b; to return to what you expected in your lease, volunteer nothing


but move the furniture and beds ANYWHERE in the unit


that you wish and if the landlord says something, the


correct response is ';sure mr. landlord.'; and then, ignore him.





It is too bad sometimes good people have to act like slaves/horses


with some landlords

It sounds like the landlord is in violation of the standard lease agreement which does not not allow a landlord to infringe on your right to arrange the furniture etc. to your liking, as long as nothing you do covers a vent or something dangerous.





Also, to originally have use of the basement (if that is in the lease) and to have that right withdrawn is a clear violation. Read the lease carefully, then give notice you're moving. Do not withhold lease payments, however, because that will put you in violation of the lease. It sounds like the landlord would rather you leave anyway.


Good luck!! : /
