Summary

The bill revises Wisconsin Statute 704.01(5) to clarify that a tenant at will is someone who occupies property with the landlord’s permission, has no valid lease, and does not pay rent on a regular schedule. It specifically excludes people who are in possession because they are buying the property or are there under an employment contract. This change aims to provide a clearer legal definition for courts and landlords.
