Does my landlord have to give me a 30 or 60 day notice of rent increase greater than10 percent in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin does not have any laws specifying how much notice a landlord must give you in order to raise your rent. Your original lease should specify how much advance notice will be given. On a month to month lease, the landlord is required to give a minimum of 28 days notice, the same as beginning eviction proceedings. If your current lease is still valid, the landlord cannot legally change the rent until the lease ends.

How much can your landlord raise the rent all at once to a new tenant?
It depends on your lease. If you don't have a lease, the rent can be raised at any time by any amount. If you do have a lease, check the lease. If their are limits raising the rent in the lease, then you can bring that to your landlord's attention. If they raise your rate more than what's in the lease, then you can sue them in order to get them to comply with the lease. If there are no limits identified in the lease, then the rent can be raised at any time by any amount.

How can you get out of paying rent if you can't afford it?
Is your home in great order and shape? Is your landlord fulfiling his end of the agreement? If you can say YES to either or both questions you might be able to break the lease by means of constructive eviction. If the answers are NO, then you can't break out of a lease, or if you do, you suffer the consequences: your landlord can keep the security deposit and you may be liable for the rent of the unit for each month it's vacant during the time of your lease or until the unit is rented out.
Can landlord terminate lease to move back in?
It depends on the type of lease and the amount of time that the notices to end the tenancy was given. If this is a termed lease (3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 year, etc) then the landlord cannot terminate the lease unless the tenant has broken a material provision of the contract (such as not paying rent, criminal activity, serious damage occurring, etc). If the landlord wishes to terminate this lease lawfully, they must give a tenant the same amount of notice as the duration of the lease. Meaning, if you signed a one year lease that the landlord wishes not to renew, they must inform one year in advance of the lease end. Meaning when signing up for a one years lease, if it's a non-renewal lease that will not convert to a month to month, then the lease must inform the signer that the lease will end one year from the date it's signed. If you do not have a termed lease, you're considered tenancy-at-sufferance or a month to month renter. In order for a landlord to lawfully terminate this leasehold, they must give you the same amount of notice as your rent is required to be paid. If you pay your rent monthly, you're required to be given 30 days notice to quit. If you pay weekly, only seven days are required. If a landlord ends a leasehold during the duration of the lease, through no fault or request of the lessor (renter), the landlord owes back the entire security deposit. In some cases, such as the landlord demands you leave the property on the 30th, and still expects rent if you reside there on the 1st, the landlord may even be liable for housing costs associated with improper termination of the lease (such as having to stay in a motel for a few days to secure new, safe, reliable housing). You may even be entitled to lost wages if this required you to take time from work to secure new housing.
