Wisconsin Security Deposit Demand Letter

Wisconsin gives a landlord 21 days after the tenant surrenders the premises (or the tenancy ends, if the tenant left early) to return a security deposit. Miss it, and the tenant can claim up to 2× the amount withheld. This letter states that in the statute's own words, with your deadline, days overdue and the amount you can claim already computed.
