Tenant left property behind in Wisconsin
Wisconsin landlord guide to abandoned personal property, non-storage notices, medical items, titled vehicles, and manufactured/mobile homes.
First confirm the tenant removed or was lawfully evicted.
The ordinary modern disposal path depends on the statutory non-storage notice given at entry or renewal.
Prescription medication and prescription medical equipment have a special 7-day hold rule.
Titled vehicles and manufactured/mobile homes require additional notice treatment.
Why this matters
Wisconsin's abandoned-property statute separates ordinary belongings from medical items and titled/special property. It also makes the prior non-storage notice materially important.
Legal authority: Wis. Stat. § 704.05(5)
